And a Miss Rachel Vardle beside,

Vot the gent had lugged off by the nicks,

And promis’d to make her his bride.

I knowed by the cut of his boot,

As the cove had put up at our inn,

So Pickwick, without a dispute,

Comes tumbling down with the tin!

And me arter that he engages,

To follow him in his career—

Good togs and twelve shiners for vages,
