II

My name they say is young Birdlime,

My fingers are fish-hooks, sirs;

And I my reading learnt betime, [8]

From studying pocket-books, sirs;

I have a sweet eye for a plant, [9]

And graceful as I amble,

Finedraw a coat-tail sure I can't

So kiddy is my famble. [10]

_Chorus_. Frisk the cly, etc.
