Till then we must get on the best way we can, Don't run up Iqng bills, but pay cash is the plan „; .'■.*■ To get most for our money, and make both ends meet; To deal with H. 8., who lives near Matson's Creek, And opposite Meech, that very dreadful man, Who oft disturbs ye harmony of that peaceful Joying clan Of noble-minded Councillors, who meet every other week In the grand old Council Chamber down Balguerie street. j I think you know by this where's Henry Billens'"shop. But for fear you make mistake and into some other pop, I have made a grand discovery, for which I claim renown, That Economy House is " slap bagn" In the centre of the town.
