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 called for help—she had enough of sucker.
Dame Partlet’s scream
Waked, luckily, the house-dog from his dream,
And with a savage growl
