Right on the body of a speckled Hen,

Determined upon taking all she had;

And like a very bibber at his bottle,

Began to draw the claret from her throttle;

Of course it put her in a pretty pucker,

And with a scream as high

As she could cry,

She call'd for help—she had enough of sucker.

Dame Partlet's scream

Waked, luckily, the house-dog from his dream,
