Above the black saucepan, that dinner was near;

And I said, “If there is a good thing in this world,

’Tis a boiled leg of pork, which methinks is in here.”

Every table was spread, and I heard underground,

The landlady tapping a cask of old ale.

And here, in a snug little inn of its sort,

With a landlord that’s jolly, a waiter that’s cute,

A weed of Havannah, a glass of old port,

If a man were not happy with these, he’s a brute.

Every table, &c.
