It's the best among the vocalists I'd honor with the choice;

Or a Poet as could furnish a new Ballad to the bunch;

Or at any rate the surest hand at mixing of the punch;

'Cause why, the members meet for that and other tuneful frolics—

And not to say, like Muffincaps, their Catichiz and Collec's.

But you see them there Itinerants that preach so long and loud,

And always takes advantage like the prigs of any crowd,

Have brought their jangling voices, and as far as they can compass,

Have turn'd a tavern shindy to a seriouser rumpus,

And him as knows most hymns—altho' I can't see how it follers—
