[He’ll lead you on through the broad gate,]
[Which he has opened wide—]
[In solid columns] you shall March
[And enter] side by side
[And no] delay you’ll meet with there
But forward march you shall
For he[’]s not only our Lord Mayor But Lord Lieutenant-Rall

Wont have untied his shoe
For sure twould be quit[e] impolite
If not a great disgrace
To have a widow sister fair
Spit in a prophets face
 
But Joe at Snairing beats them all
And as the rest does laugh
For widows poor and orphan Girls

He sets his snairs around for all
And very seldom fails
To catch some thoughtless Pa[r]tridges
Snow Birds or Knight engales [p. [3]]
