- Tom making a Manteau for a lass of pleasure, Pull'd
- But quickly found tho' woundily steight lac'd Sir,
- Three inches more, at lenght brisk Tom advances, yet out
- pull'd out, pull'd out his nine Inches,
- nine Inches, nine Inches, nine Inches, all,
- yet all too short, yet all, all, all too short,
- all too long, his long and lawful measure:
- nine Inches wou'd not half surround he wast Sir:
- short, yet all too short,
- all too short to reach he swinging Hances.
