III

The night arrived for trotter-shaking-- [3]

To Mother Swankey's snoozing-crib; [4]

Each downy cadger was seen taking

His bit of muslin, or his rib. [5]

Twelve candles vos stuck into turnips,

Suspended from the ceiling queer--

Bunn's blaze of triumph was all pickles

To this wegetable shandileer.

Tol, lol lol, etc.
