DCCXXXIII.
LITTLE Jack Jingle,
He used to live single ;
But when he got tired of this kind of life,
He left off being single, and lived with his wife.

DCCXXXIV.

WHEN shall we be married,
My dear Nicholas Wood?
We will be married on Monday,
And will not that be very good?
What, shall we be married no sooner ?
Why, sure the man’s gone wood! *

What shall we have for our dinner,
My dear Nicholas Wood ?

We will have bacon and pudding,
And will not that be very good?

What, shall we have nothing more?
Why, sure the man’s gone wood!

Who shall we have at our wedding,
My dear Nicholas Wood ?

We will have mammy and daddy,
And will not that be very good?

What, shall we have nobody else?
Why, sure the man’s gone wood.
