Full text of verse [sic]:
At six o'clock from sleep I wake
By Kendal who my pillows shake,
Will you get up you lazy Carr?
The sun o'er chimney-pots a far
Is rising and tis deep transgression
To sleep and miss todays procession
Oh, slowly out of bed we rise
With woeful, weary, sleepy eyes,
Tis half-way dark and chilly too
And Kendals nose is red and blue.
