That currant jam!—I'd almost swear

I'd half-a-dozen pots of red.

Oh, your sweet child! On him I smiled

Benignly; but it seemed to me

That he had smears across his face

Which I was hardly pleased to see.

Mrs. Biggs, of Brunswick Square,

You've used up all my choice Pekoe;

My sherry's gone; and where, oh where

Is that half-flask of curaçoa?
