Upon the table there was set each kind of cake and custard,
And every dish that cooks have e’er invented there was mustered;
That is, there would have been had they been laid within the house, sir,
But the rain converted every dish, and turned it into “souse,” sir!
Oh! dear, oh &c.
Good things abounded on all sides, and every kind of wine was there,
And empty bottles prov’d that many a votary of the vine was there;
That is, they would have proved so if the wine they’d chanced to get, sir,
But Teetotallers got water, the rest had “heavy wet,” sir!
Oh! dear, oh! &c.
