So, so, friend Dick, an old chum cries,

The worms have pretty picking!

No Surgeon better lov’d himself;

He lov’d old rum and brandy

As much as misers do their pelf,

Or children sugar-candy.

And as for eatables—in short,

He lov’d both roast and boil’d;

Fish, flesh, or fowl, of any sort,

If not by cooking spoil’d.
