A man hammers a cabinet. "Mizzle" means to depart suddenly., Text: Next to a beastly undertaker, / Oh! how I hate a cabinet maker; / His punch-like nose-- his shaving lips, / His little sixpenny brads and chips / If ere I married such a chizzle, / I'd surely mallet him, and mizzle., Provenance: McAllister, John A. (John Allister), 1822-1896, collector.
