Notes |
Text: You are the very antidote to love! / A man of taste undoubtedly you prove; / But 'tis of dinners, Hog, and that you
know full well, / And if a wife you choose, 'twill be-- a dinner bell(e)? / Upon my word, I'd give a dollar bill, / To know
the jade that sent this Valentine; / The saucy minx, she says I'm sour as swill, / She won't be good for a pig's head like
mine.
