- midget: P T Barnum displayed midgets in his shows
- midge: a louse, etc
- puce: (French) a flea
- pucelle: (French) maiden
- the cadence of this line, starting at "three lice nittle clinkers" and ending here at pucelle echoes "3 French hens (pucelle?), 2 turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree."
