 | The poetical works of John Nicholson |  |
Ducando was a man of careful heart,
He seldom paid a sixpence for his quart;
To sip the smuggled drops was his delight,—
With such a group he spent the jovial night.
The keeper of the neighbouring 'squire was there,
Enjoyed the sport, and drowned all his care.
He seldom paid a sixpence for his quart;
To sip the smuggled drops was his delight,—
With such a group he spent the jovial night.
The keeper of the neighbouring 'squire was there,
Enjoyed the sport, and drowned all his care.
