kick, my love, OH cruel fate!
And did it hurt my pretty mate?
Though it hurt little or though it hurt much,

When he said to US all now beat n retreat!

How is your wife and how are you?
All! it suits my foot as nothing can,
a stern rcbuke to the working >man!'
Brothers, who labor from morn till night,
Get good bludgeon and keep it in sight
And crack the mans head who says unto
"IIowdy! howdyl howdy do?
How is your wife and how are you2"
