And one 'more wastefuller' of store,

'Never set foot into a door;'

'Twas him that spoilt the street-door lock,

'Twas him that broke the parlour clock,

That did whatever he might please,

That had a 'perfect set of keys!'

That nothing 'went' but he receiv'd it,

And 'shipp'd it off' when once he'd thiev'd it."

If ask'd (which must be quite a bore),

"Pray why not tell all this before?"
