With a pawnbroker's duplicate or two.

But the twenty pounds, when he comes to claim,

He finds how worthless the tradesman's name;

And when with the duplicates off he goes

To the pawnbroker's shop, they the fact disclose,

That the documents all are forged—odd zounds!

By the tradesman who wanted the twenty pounds.

And of everything making a similar mull,

Quite ruin'd at last is the rare old Gull.
