Of the two men who live off this spot,
Mr. Barnett is the best, I ween;
Let strangers come here, and purchase a lot
Of curiosities here to be seen: ―
His museum is good, the birds are well stuffed,
As the pockets should be that come here;
His prices are low, so you cannot be huffed,
And you don't see him once in a year.
