A Lawyer's head without a quirk,
without chicane a Proctor's,
A Lady's head without a tongue,
without a nostrum Doctor's.
Bow, wow, &c.

A Poet's head without a rhyme,
a With too without punning,
Without a crotchet Fidler's head,
a Jockey's without cunning:
A Cuckold's head devoid of horns,
his Wife's without invention:
A Barbar's head without his brains;
and others I could mention.
Bow, wow, &c.

And let none of the wicked wits
despise my occupation.
The greater always shaves the less,
in every rank and station.
The rich will ever shave the poor,
the Minister and please you,
Will lather you will promises,
and shave you mighty easy.
Bow, wow, &c.

And Shavers keen I trow there are,
of every profession;
But pardon now, my customers;
this whimsical digression,
