The pillow for thee has less charms than the purse;
It is not that "Sweets" from those packets you'd suck;
No, babie, your yearning's to try your young luck.

Those "Lucky Sweets," babie, are babydom's "play."
But as for the sweets, why you chuck them away!
Oh, two to one bar one, &c.
Oh, princes may "punt," babie; nobles may "plunge,"
