There's some is born with their straight legs by natur—

And some is born with bow-legs from the first—

And some that should have grow'd a good deal straighter,

But they were badly nurs'd,

And set, you see, like Bacchus, with their pegs

Astride of casks and kegs:

I've got myself a sort of bow to larboard,

And starboard,

And this is what it was that warp'd my legs.—

'Twas all along of Poll, as I may say,
