The pangs of love he clearly felt—
His name was Thomas Clutterbuck.
The lady he did most approve
Most guineas gold had got 'em;
And Clutterbuck fell deep in love
With Polly Higginbottom.
O Thomas Clutterbuck!
And O Polly Higginbottom!
I sing the loves—the smiling lives—
Of Clutterbuck and Higginbottom.
