DITTO.

1 To a term oft made use of by partners in trade
2 Add a pious young damsel for ever a maid,
3 With five hundred tackt to a spirituous liquor,
4 Which is drank from the cobler quite up to the vicar,
5 These, when right put together, will quickly explain
6 The name of a thing made to puzzle the brain.
