A. Fabulous Historian says, that
there was three little holes in Noah's
Ark; and that the dog stopt his nose
in one, and the man put his knee in
another, and into the third and biggest
hole, the woman bang' d her backside:
and these parts being exposed to the
cold blast, makes them always cold
ever since.
Q. What remedy does the man take
for warming his cold knees?
A. He holds them towards the fire;
and when in bed, draws his shirt down
over them.
Q. What does the woman do, to
warm their cold parts?
A. The married women put their
backside into their husbands' arms:--
Virgins, and those going mad for mar-
riage, their maidenhead keeps them
warm:-old matrons, and whirl'd o'er
maidens, and widows bewitched, hold
their coldest parts to the fire.
Q. And what remedy does the poor
dog take, for his cold nose?
He staps it below his tail, the
hotest bit in his body.
