I know not which is ranker, no, not I.

"Plug, art thou rank? Then milder twist must be;

Plug, thou art milder; rank is twist to me.

O Twist, if plug be milder, let me buy.

"Rank twist, that seems to make me fade away,

Rank plug, that navvies smoke in loveless clay,

I know not which is ranker, no, not I.

"I fain would purchase flake, if that could be;

I needs must purchase plug, ah woe is me!

Plug and a cutty, a cutty, let me buy."
