To give the purse to him as won it;
With this remark, from start to out
He'd never seen a brisker bout.
There was the purse. At that he'd leave it.

And called for gin punch for the crowd;
And when the second bowl was done,
I called, 'Let's have another one.'
Si's wife come in and sipped and sipped
