III

A night bird oft I'm in the cage, [11]

But my rum-chants ne'er fail, sirs;

The dubsman's senses to engage, [12]

While I tip him leg-bail, sirs; [13]

There's not, for picking, to be had,

A lad so light and larky, [14]

The cleanest angler on the pad [15]

In daylight or the darkey. [16]

_Chorus_. Frisk the cly, etc.
