A little dog begging for alms, While passing through this country, Bridge one,—you get a plum; Bridge two,—you get eggs; Bridge three,—you get nuts; Bridge four,—you get a slap; Bridge five,—you get a syringe; Bridge six,—you get cherries; Bridge seven,—you get a plate; Bridge eight,—you get oysters; Bridge nine,—you get beef.

While passing through the kitchen Of Mr. Portefarine, I heard that he was roasting Three dozen little hens. I asked whom they were for, And was told they were for my father. My father made me taste them, I found them too salty.
