Make out a story,—cram it full:

The cock won't fight?—then try the bull.

"A 'peeler' had the nation gnous

To clap you in the station-house,

Where you were 'kep' the morning 'through,'

Quite ignorant of what to do,

Although you'd rather lie in jail,

Than ask his honour to stand bail;

And all because (though past belief)

You bore some likeness to a thief!
