At the lot

Of the sot

Who, to soothe him, han't got

The resource of a double barrel.

Nay, the hint was too good to lie hid in the wood,

Or to lurk in two lips of coral;

Hence the God of the Grape (who his betters would ape)

Knows the use of a double barrel.

His escutcheon he decks with a double XX,

And his blithe October carol
