Soon I married a second,
She, like the other, wou'd rule again;
A beauty by most folks she's reckon'd,
Though her frowns soon made me cool again:
Her beauty and charms, I vow,
Wou'd move the heart of any man;
She's as fat as a pig or a sow,
With a face like a well polish'd warming-pan.

(Speaking).
A dropsy carried her off, poor soul! and she left me one child, and a sensible boy he is—Going to stir the fire, the other day, he lays hold of the hot end of the poker, and as soon as he found it burnt his fingers, d---n me, if he didn't drop it immediately.—Oh! he's a sensible boy! and he can sing,

Ka ba, wa wa, wow, eh, wow, &c.
