Verse reads:
"By little Cupids warmest passion led, | When Daddya nd Mamma were gone to bed, | Miss Prue her lover to her room convey'd, | When he so full of Tragic! could not bear
To whisper love-sick nonsense in her ear, | But raving loud and stamping on the floor, | Comes Dad, in his night gown to the Chamber door, | Detects the Girl, - and spoils the whole amour"
