    And remark my good people
    With the hasp and the steeple
    The gate they are keeping
    Bound fast to the stick
    XVI
    May this ill looking ghost
    Never appear at the post
    The boys they can boast
    How they handled the trick
    And in Market or Fair
    If you're money to spare
    Let you drink with good care
    To the men took the stick
