    The stoves are ash quite clean and sound
    And with sally hoops well bound
    Then two big ears surmount the hoops
    And thick as those of any incompoop

    And sits quite solid on the ground
    It would not lose or leak a drop
    In either bottom side or top

    And hark the coopers full demand
    Was paid by me into his hand
    And why should I to you concede
