CHARLEY CHUB AND THE PUNT PROPRIETOR. 

 (TUNE.) " Ye Zephyrs gay." 



1. 



Charley Chub, Esq. a citizen, 

 Lived very near to Pudding lane, 

 And every summer went a week, 

 By the Thames at Ditton to remain. 

 He gave his 'prentice half-a-crown, 

 To be a steady boy. 



And mind the shop, while he went down 

 His fishing to enjoy. 



With rod and line and hook, 

 By river, pond or brook, 

 Strange things we fishers see. 



2. 



He as a man of substance was 



Allow'd to be in every sense ; 



He'd a large amount in banker's hands, 



As many pounds as some had pence. 



His person portly as a butt 



Prov'd how he liv'd full welJ,
