She went to the shop to buy him some shoes,When she came back he was reading the news.Sure none would beUeve (she laughed as she spoke),That a dog could be found to drink ale and smoke. … She went to the hosiers, to buy him some hose,When she came back he was drest in his clothes.How now? cries the dame, with a look of surprise,To see you thus drest, I scarce credit my eyes.
