3the showman gargles fire and sword with ease
4the thumb- and finger-prints of Al Capone
5Oh how oh how he hates such pilferings
6rejecting ermine to become a knave
7proud death quite il-le-gi-ti-mate-ly stings

10with quill white-collared through his life will jog
11watching manure and compost coalesce

13on fish-slab whale nor seal has never swum
14fried grilled black pudding’s still the world’s best yum
