OUT OF THE TAVERN.*
Out of the tavern I've just stepped to-night;
Street! you are caught in a very bad plight;
Right hand and left hand are both out of place-
Street! you are drunk, 'tis a very clear case.
Moon! 'tis a very queer figure you cut,
One eye is staring while t'other is shut.
Tipsy, I see, and you're greatly to blame;
Old as you are, 'tis a horrible shame!

Then the street lamps, what a scandalous sight!-
None of them soberly standing upright;
Rocking and staggering-why, on my word,
Each of the lamps is as drunk as a lord.
All is confusion; now, isn't it odd,

I am the only thing sober abroad?
Sure it were tash with this crew to remain—
Better go into the tavern again.
