Would very willingly engage
As butler to a minister of state,
And overlook the plate.
Would very willingly engage
As butler to a minister of state,
And overlook the plate.

And not a hogshead or a bottle left;

To answer for the leakage, or the theft.
And not a hogshead or a bottle left;
He begs to say, he won't be fool enough
To answer for the leakage, or the theft.
If wanted, he can have, by God's good grace,
An exc'llent character from his last place.
Please to direct to Mister H. Dundas,
At the old sign—the Bottle and the Glass.
