Two comical stories your smiles have won,

The Cork Leg had a most capital run;

But (because it would not be out-done)

The Steam arm was rais'd, and struck every one!

Ri too ral, &c.

The skeleton travell'd the globe so fast,

Through countries none before had pass'd;

The limbs were from their bodies cast,

And their owners sank to rest at last.

Ri too ral, &c.

But these two membors, when brought into play,

To be stopp'd in vain, were tried, they say,

And, as round the world they hurried away,

By chance they happen'd to meet t'other day.

Ri too ral, &c.

The Leg shook lands with the Arm in delight,

The Arm found the Leg in toe toe (toto) polite;

So, to travel togother they did unite,

And off they started with forty-horse might!

Ri too ral, &c.

They run 'gainst a ship that was on the rocks,

The Steam Arm gave it some terrible knocks;
