Thus you're repaid for all your trouble,

Enjoy the 'squeak,' nor burst the 'bubble.'

You cry, "Enough, then, for the present;"

Yet list to something still more pleasant.

I'll tell you how, if you're but willing,

From deepest fob t' extract a shilling.

A present when desired to carry,

If but a sorry pumpkin,—marry,

Make as much fuss (or even greater)

Than if it were a gold repeater;
