But took his corks, and merely had a bath;

And once he pull'd a trigger at his skull,

But merely broke a window in his wrath;

And once, his hopeless being to annul,

He tied a pack-thread to a beam of lath,

A line so ample, 'twas a query whether

'Twas meant to be a halter or a tether.

His sorrows thro'—'tis horrible to die!
