II

The first time I saw the flaming mot, [5]

Was at the sign of the Porter Pot,

I call'd for some purl, and we had it hot,

With gin and bitters too!

We threw off our slang at high and low, [6]

And we were resolv'd to breed a row

For we both got as drunk as David's sow, [7]

And then sung fal de ral tit, etc.
