A place with my Neighbours at whiping the Cat. _All Sing._ Room for good Noses the best in our Town, Come fill the Pot Hostess, your Ale it is Brown: For his Nose, and thy Nose, and mine shall not quarrel, So long as one Gallon remains in the Barrel. _The SHARPEST._ My Nose is the Sharpest good Neighbours mark well, The smoak of a Banquet three Mile I can smell; Forged and shaped so sharp at the End, Makes known that I pass not what others do spend. Yet must my Nose spiced most orderly be, With Nutmegs and Ginger, or else 'tis not for me; And so to the bottom the same I commit, Of every Man's cup whereas I do sit. My Nose is the foremost you see at each Feast, Of all other Noses the principal Guest: Then let my Nose challenge as sharp as it shows, The chiefest of every good and bad Nose. _All Sing._ Room for, _&c._ _The BROADEST._ My Nose is the Broadest how like you Sir, that, It feeds on good Liquor and grows very fat; For like to a Panack it covers my Face, To make other Noses the more in disgrace.

Within the Gate, They cry at the Grate, Pray Remember our Fate and shew Pity; The poor and distress'd, Who in Bonds are oppress'd, Entreat the relief of the City In Threadbare Coats, We tear our Throats, With pitiful Notes that would move All Creatures, but Brutes, To give ear to our Suits, And themselves like true Christians approve. But in vain we cry, With a Box hanging by, Good Sirs cast an Ey
