    A rosin candle shows bad night...

    A rosin candle shows bad night
    I hate it when the print is dim.
    We never see the sun at night.
    He's always lame that wants a limb.
    Distant hills will never meet.
    People's apt to hate their foes.
    Ned Dandy's lips are very sweet,
    They're made of sugar I suppose. *
    Return tweedle dell,
    The steeple made to hold the bell,
    Not forgetting by thrum ti,
    Show me the man could prop the sky.
    Harry Daly's dead and gone
    Death's a cure for every pain;
    Billy Scott disturbs the town;
    Spring will soon be back again;
    Rosy Farrell takes a snuff;
    Molly's liquer's not too strong;
    Jack Winslow's voice is very rough
    Larry's apt to sing a song.
