Your mandate I got | B |
You may all go to pot | B |
Had your senses been right | C |
You'd have sent before night | C |
As I hope to be saved | D |
I put off being shaved | D |
For I could not make bold | E |
While the matter was cold | E |
To meddle in suds | F |
Or to put on my duds | F |
So tell Horneck and Nesbitt | G |
And Baker and his bit | G |
And Kauffmann beside | H |
And the Jessamy Bride | H |
With the rest of the crew | I |
The Reynoldses two | I |
Little Comedy's face | J |
And the Captain in lace | J |
By the bye you may tell him | K |
I have something to sell him | K |
Of use I insist | L |
When he comes to enlist | L |
Your worships must know | M |
That a few days ago | M |
An order went out | N |
For the foot guards so stout | N |
To wear tails in high taste | O |
Twelve inches at least | P |
Now I've got him a scale | Q |
To measure each tail | Q |
To lengthen a short tail | Q |
And a long one to curtail | Q |
Yet how can I when vext | P |
Thus stray from my text | P |
Tell each other to rue | I |
Your Devonshire crew | I |
For sending so late | P |
To one of my state | P |
But 'tis Reynolds's way | R |
From wisdom to stray | R |
And Angelica's whim | K |
To be frolick like him | K |
But alas Your good worships how could they be wiser | S |
When both have been spoil'd in to day's 'Advertiser' | S |
