| Missing or lost last Sunday night | B |
| A Waterloo coin whereon was traced | C |
| The inscription Courage in letters bright | B |
| Tho' a little by rust of years defaced | C |
| - | |
| The metal thereof is rough and hard | D |
| And 'tis thought of late mixt up with brass | E |
| But it bears the stamp of Fame's award | F |
| And thro' all Posterity's hands will pass | E |
| - | |
| How it was lost God only knows | G |
| But certain City thieves they say | H |
| Broke in on the owner's evening doze | G |
| And filched this gift of gods away | H |
| - | |
| One ne'er could of course the Cits suspect | I |
| If we hadn't that evening chanced to see | J |
| At the robbed man's door a Mare elect | I |
| With an ass to keep her company | J |
| - | |
| Whosoe'er of this lost treasure knows | G |
| Is begged to state all facts about it | K |
| As the owner can't well face his foes | G |
| Nor even his friends just now without it | K |
| - | |
| And if Sir Clod will bring it back | L |
| Like a trusty Baronet wise and able | M |
| He shall have a ride on the whitest hack | L |
| That's left in old King George's stable | M |
