The clowns they will at cricket play,

To the circus the folks will haste away,

To see Bluebeard at Dunmow!

Now when the sport it is all done,

And the flitch of bacon carried home,

Some scores will to the pop-shop run,

With bolsters, quilts, and blankets;

Coats and waistcoats, gowns and shawls,

Shirts, chignons, and parasols,

Will have to go to the golden balls,
