English poem
Vi
by John Stephen Farmer (1854–1916)
Then fill your glasses, dolly palls, vy should they be neglected, As does their best to helewate the line as ve's selected? To them as makes the Crackman's life, the subject of their story, To Ainsworth, and to Bullvig, and to Reynolds be the glory, Jolly trumps.
[1: fellows; stealing] [2: pickpocket] [3: steal] [4: fashion] [5: burglar's] [6: Notes]
