Bundle and Go/The Wonders

THE WONDERS.

Your laughter i'll try to provoke,
⁠With the words I've got in my travels;
And first is a pig in a poke,
⁠Next a law-case without any cavils;
⁠Tol lol, &c.

A straw poker, a tiffany boat,
⁠Paper boots to walk dry thro' the ditches;
A new lignumvitæ great coat,
⁠Flint waistcoat and pair of glass breeches.
⁠Tol lol, &c.

A dimity warming pan new,
⁠Steel night cap, and pair of lawn bellows:
A yard-wide foot-rule, and then two
⁠Odd shoes that belong to odd fellows.
⁠Tol lol, &c.

China wheelbarrow, earthen-ware gig,
⁠A book bound in wood with no leaves to‘t,
Besides a new velveret wig
⁠Lin'd with tripe, and a long pair o‘ sleeves to't.
⁠Tol lol, &c.

A coal-scuttle trim'd with Scottish gauze,
⁠Tickled crimpets and barricoed muffins;
Tallow stewpan, nankeen chest of drawers;
⁠Dumb alarm ball to frighten humguffins;
⁠Tol lol, &c.

Six knives and forks made of red tape,
⁠A patent wash leather polony;
A gilt coat with a gingerbread cape,
⁠And Lin'd with the best macaroni.
⁠Tol lol, &c.

A plumb pudding made of !;u5h[inillegible] deal,
⁠A pnt of mahogany capers;
A gooseberry pye made of veal,
⁠And stuff’d with two three-corner'd scrapers;
⁠Tol loo, &c.

Sour cruet sweeten'd well with small coal,
⁠A fricaseed carpenter's mallet;
A cast iron, toad in a hole;
⁠And a monstrous great hole in the ballad.
⁠Tol lol, &c.
