| Maguire. (recit.) | Now, Woodpecker! until you come, my dear sir, |
| We cannot budge a peg! | |
| Woodpecker. | Why, what the dickens are you doing here, sir? |
| Explain yourself, I beg! |
| Maguire. | ||
| We are all making merry On port and on sherry, It's liberal, very — |
||
| At price you don't sti-hickle! | ||
| When you spoke of our fooding, Thinks I, he's allooding To chops and to pooding, |
||
| Bread, cheese, and a pi-hickle — | ||
| All very good things to tuck into our frames. But that's not the menoo at the Hall of St. James! |
||
| Why, bless us, there's dishes Of fowls and of fishes — Of all that one wishes — |
||
| There's muckle and mi-hickle! | ||
| There's puddings and ices. And jambong in slices — And other devices |
||
| Our palates to ti-tickle! | ||
| Fine Frenchified fixings —
I don't know their names. But they do the thing well at the Hall of St. James! |
