Summary

The widow has had four husbands and is looking for a fifth. Her men included a tailor who used his neck wart as a collar stud, a baker who was a loafer, a drunkard who was too fond of his 'morning' [early morning alcoholic drink to stave off a hangover], and a nightwatchman who never shared her bed.
