Unless it’s a coinage from some kind of copper;

Though your Dean of St Patrick’s did not like the stuff,

For this very fair reason—’twas not big enough.

So here goes a guess—and, in truth, to be plain,

It’s a good honest Penny your honour will mane.

Ah, Geordy, full oft have they tried to disgrace,

With buffets and blows, thy right royal old face;

Let them hammer away till they’re all in a pet,

For real solid worth thou’rt the best of the set.
