| I play the father to a brace of boys | B |
| Ailing but apt for every sort of noise | B |
| Bedfast but brilliant yet with health and bloom | A |
| Roden the Irishman is 'sieven past ' | C |
| Blue eyed snub nosed chubby and fair of face | D |
| Willie's but six and seems to like the place | D |
| A cheerful little collier to the last | E |

| Saws lectures takes the artery up and ties | H |

| Holding the limb and moaning Case and Dresser | G |
