The night he was wedded, quoth Inigo Jones:
"Thou flesh of my flesh and thou bone of my bones;
There's a joke in the name of thy husband, sweet Nancy,
A rare one, so rare that it tickles my fancy."
"Lie still, my dear love, and my good thing shall out;
Oh Lord! Mister Jones, what are you about?"
"Hush, hush pretty creature your squeaking and moans,
'Tis the joke that I told you of: in I go Jones".
