Tom Collins

Who never drinks and never bets, 
But loves his wife and pays his debts 
And feels content with what he gets? 
Tom Collins. 

Who has the utmost confidence 
That all the banks now in suspense 
Will meet their paper three years hence? 
Tom Collins. 

Who reads the Herald leaders through, 
And takes the Evening News for true, 
And thought the Echo’s jokes were new? 
Tom Collins. 

Who is the patriot renowned 
So very opportunely found 
To fork up Dibbs’s thousand pound? 
Tom Collins.
