IX

At knock-'em-downs and tiddlywink,

To be a sharp you must not shrink,

But be a brick and sport your chink [11]

To win must be your plan.

And set-toos and Cock-fighting

Are things you must take delight in,

And always try to be right in

And every kidment scan.

And bullying and chaffing too,

To you should be well known,

Your nob be used to bruisery, [12]

And hard as any stone.

Put the kiebosh on the dibbery,

Know a Joey from a tibbery,

And now and then have a black eye,

To be a Leary Man.
