It is most inconvenient to play.
For its players have nothing to do,
Half the time that they own is so dear,
And I’ve noticed, when once they are “out,”
They hurry to ’baccy and beer.
And Archery, Rinking, and Bowls,
Your charms are displayed but in vain;
No one cares the least atom for you,
Or desires to taste you again;
But with me folks their troubles assuage,
