obligated.
v4| Well, ladies |4on upon4| |v4gentlemen gentlermenv4| and toastmaster general, health to song for Erin go dry! To stir up love's young fizz I tilt with this bridle's cup champagne, |v4dimmydouce, dimming doucev4| |4to from4| her peepair of |v4hideseek at hers hideseeksv4|, tightsqueezed on my snowybreasted, and while my pearlies in their sparkling wiseheight are nippling her bubblets I swear (and let you swear!) by the bumper round of |v4our own my poorv4| old |v4Snaggletooth's snaggletooth'sv4| solidbowl I ne'er will prove I'm untrue to your liking (theare!) so long as my hole looks down.

So gullaby, me poor Isley! But I'm not for forgetting |v4my inner man me innermanv4| monophone for I'm leaving my darling proxy behind for your consolering, lost Dave the Dancekerl, a squamous runaway and a dear old man pal of mine too.

{f39, 463}
blushing like Pat's pig, begob! He's not too tom well ashamed to carry out |v4onaglibtoographikelly onaglibtographikellyv4| the |v4testimonicals testymonicalsv4| he gave |v4hisv4| twenty |v4annies annisv4| for, showing |v4his thev4| three white feathers, as a home cured emigrant in Paddyouare far below on the sealevel. Bearer may leave the church, signed, Figura Porca, |v4Lictorv4| |4Magnafica Magnaffica4|. He's the sneaking likeness of me, faith, in miniature and every biter's bit as nasal a |v4romeo Romeov4| as I am, for ever cracking quips on himself, that merry, the jeenjakes, he'd soon arise mother's roses mid bedewing tears |v4with underv4| those wild wet lashes onto anny living girl's laftercheeks. He's a jarry queer fish betimes, I grant, but, lice and all and semicoloured stainedglasses, I'm enormously full of that foreigner, I'll say I |v4am. am!v4| We're as thick and thin now as two tubular jawballs. I hate him about his henesy but I love him. I love his portugal's nose. |v4That's There'sv4| the |v4nasturtum nasturtium for yev4| now that saved |v4many mannyv4| a poor sinker from water on the grave. Isn't he after borrowing all before him, touching every distinguished Irishman he could ever distinguish before |v4& orv4| behind from a Yourishman for the customary half of a crown and peace? Brayvo, senior chief! Famose! Sure there's nobody else in

Always |v4saying raving howv4| we had the wrinkles of a snailcharmer and the slits and smellers of a fellow that fell foul of the county de |v4Luna, & Loona, andv4| the |v4and the meathtraps meattrapv4| of the first vegetarian. |v4Take herv4| out of pure tuppenny luck before she goes off |v4out of inv4| pure |v4threefold |atriple treplea|v4| funk. I'd give three shillings a pound to the canon to shadow you kissing her liberally all over as if she was a crucifix. It's good for her labials. There's nothing like |v4a thev4| mistletouch for finding a queen's earring |v4falsev4|. Turn around, skeezy Sammy, till we feel are you still fond of |v4poetry. poetry!v4| Could you |v4wheedle |atrill us wheedlea|v4| a staveling encore out of your imitationer's jubalharp, |v4eh heyv4|, Mr Jinglejoys?

And |v4(whoa!)º did dov4| you twig the shamlooking leaf creeping ghastly down his blousyfrock? |v4Areesh! And He won't. Sh He's shoy.v4| My |4oldfellow's oldfaher's4| uncle that was garotted, Caius Codinhand, used to chop that tongue of his, japlatin, with my younkle's owlseller, |4Wolfe Woowoolfe4| Woodenbeard, that went |v4stone bothered stonebatheredº,v4| in the |v4tower Towerv4| of Balbus, as brisk, man, as I'd scoff up lobscouse. But it's all deafman's duff to me, begob. Sam knows miles better than me how to work the miracle. And I see he's dropping the stammer out of his |4silenced4| bladder since I |4sent bonded4| him |4off4| to |v4try andv4| grow |v4andv4| a muff |v4and camomise canonisev4| his |v4deadv4| feet down on the river airy after he earned the reputation of being swift. He'll soon tune your Erin's ear for you to read the roman while I'm |v4farv4| away from wherever thou art going in for my varsatile examinations. So pick your stops with fondness |v4nowºv4|. And mind you |v4tie twinev4| the two strings of your nicenames. And pull up your furbelows as farabove as you're waisthigh. His hearing is |4doubting in doubting4| just as my seeing is |4believing on believing4|. So |4dactylise him up to blankpoint and4| let him blink for himself where you speak the best ticklish. Fond namer, let me never see thee blame a kiss for shame a |v4knee. knee!v4|
