"The humour of this item derives not from revealed obscenity (unless a "wet zingle" is an obscure term of sexual reference) but from the (even more) nugatory device of onomatopoeia."

Of all the instruments that are, None can with the viol compare. Mark how the strings their order keep, With a "whet, whet, whet" and a "sweep, sweep, sweep". But above all, this still abounds, With a "Zingle, zing" and a "zit zat zounds".
