Well, brothers,

(You BUCKETTS, and WOODFORDS and COOPERS and others,

Whose names he need hardly string into his rhymes,)

Punch hopes you may look on this Record sometimes

With pleasant reflections. Mere words, he well knows,

Will not—"butter your parsnips"—(to put sense in prose):

But you have his hearty good will, and you know it,—

Right gladly he takes this occasion to show it!

And when or wherever another should come,

Be sure your friend Punch won't be careless or dumb!
