THE TINKER'S SONG, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Along, come along
Last Line: For canary.


Along, come along,
Let's meet in a throng
Here of Tinkers;
And quaffe up a Bowle
As big as a Cowle
To Beer Drinkers.
The Pole of the Hop
Place in the Ale-shop
to Bethwack us;
If ever we think
So much as to drink
Unto Bacchus.
Who frolick will be,
For little cost he
Must not vary,
From Beer-broth at all,
So much as to call
For Canary.
