class="verse indent-2">Why waste it then in dry reflection?
Another week, no doubt, will show
Some farther progress to perfection.

STEP THE FOURTH.
Go on and prosper, knowing lads!
In life there's nothing like variety,
To see thee makes my spirit glad,
In such respectable society.
Let every care disperse in smoke,
Each anxious thought in beer be drown'd,
While you enjoy your game, and smoke—
Top-sawyer of the skittle-ground.
"Boy, bring the heavy, for I'm dry,
"And scrape a little ginger in it;
"And now I'm ready for a shy
"At knock 'em down, and bet I'll win it.
"How much more pleasant to be here,
"With friends to drink a social drop
"Of Wyatt's ale, or Barclay's beer,
"Than plodding in a humbug shop!
"'Twas Dad that taught me first to swill,
"(Come pass the pewter pot, and end it),
"And, whilst there's money in the till,
"The ould un knows that I will spend it."
Careers so brilliant why impede?
Vain every effort to instruct you!
But we shall learn as we proceed,
To what these courses must conduct you.
