When Jack is grog'd, he's ship'd his beer,
Stand clear—make way—mind how you steer;
The lover, he sighs out, my dear!
I'm prim'd without much trouble:
Sometimes disguis'd, and sometimes mellow,
A bosky rocky chearful fellow,
And when I'm muz'd, the truth I tello—
I every thing see double.

(Speaking).
I went to see my brother Tom yesterday, and I never swore so well in my life—I swore all my new oaths—it wou'd have done you good to have heard me swear—So, Tom says, “Brother, brother, what will this world come to?” Says I, the same place it set out from this day twelve-month.—“These are very slippery times, very slippery times.”—They are always so in frosty weather.—“I can't bear to see such times!”—Shut your eyes then.
