- (continued from previous page)It stands for either frock or coat
The more for body coat or tag
His patterns being bias he made it like a saddle
T’was high above & high below
And hollowed in the middle,
‘Now’ he says this new construction
shall be the wearer's friend
T’will cast the winter storm off Peter's double end
Besides he further added, were you to go abroad
They’d think you were some squire, some earl, duke or lord
His wife upon that moment, wished him well to wear

For your quite another man
Now to conclude and finish and on it say no more
We wish him health and comfort till the last of it is wore.Note:
Peter Flood lived some 100 years ago in vicinity.(continues on next page)
