Which broke most of his bones,
And displeased that old person of Chester.

For stealing some pigs,
Some coats, and some wigs,

Whose head was infested with beads;

And ate gooseberry fool,

With a Pig in each hand,
But returned in the evening to Anerley.

Who gave all his children a feast;
But they all ate so much,
And their conduct was such,
That it killed that Old Man of the East.
