| A weasel through a hole contrived to squeeze | B |
| She was recovering from disease | B |
| Which led her to a farmer's hoard | C |
| There lodged her wasted form she cherish'd | D |
| Heaven knows the lard and victuals stored | C |
| That by her gnawing perish'd | D |
| Of which the consequence | E |
| Was sudden corpulence | E |
| A week or so was past | F |
| When having fully broken fast | F |
| A noise she heard and hurried | G |
| To find the hole by which she came | H |
| And seem'd to find it not the same | H |
| So round she ran most sadly flurried | G |
| And coming back thrust out her head | I |
| Which sticking there she said | I |
| 'This is the hole there can't be blunder | J |
| What makes it now so small I wonder | J |
| Where but the other day I pass'd with ease ' | - |
| A rat her trouble sees | E |
| And cries 'But with an emptier belly | K |
| You enter'd lean and lean must sally ' | - |
| What I have said to you | L |
| Has eke been said to not a few | L |
| Who in a vast variety of cases | E |
| Have ventured into such like places | E |
