.COMIC TALES. 61 JOHNNY GILPIN. | John Gilpin's spouse said to her dear, Though wedded we have been These twice ten tedious years, yet we Vo holiday have seen. ♦ Bo three doors off the chaise was stay’d, Where they did all get in; Ulx precious souls, and all agog, To fash through thick and thin. * For saddletree scarce reached had he. His Journey to begin. When, turning round his head, he saw Three customers come in. 4 *Twas long before the customers W ere s uited to their mind; When Betty screaming came down stairs, •* The wine is left behind.” A But finding soon a smoother road Beneath his well-^hod feet, The snorting beast began to trot. Which gall’d him in his seat. A Away went Gilpin neck or nought, Away went hat and wig; He httle dream’d, when he zct out. Of running such a rig. 7 The dogs did bark, the children scream’d, IJp flew the windows all; And every soul cried out, well done! As loud as he could bawl. 8 I came because your horse would come. And if I well forbode, My hat and wig will soon be here, They are upon the road. 9 Whereat his horse did snort, as he Had heard a lion roar, And gallop’d off with all his might, As he had done before. 10 And thus unto the youth she said, That drove them to the Bell, “ This shall be yours when you bring back My husband safe and well.” 11 Sis gentlemen upon the road Thus seeing Gilpin fly, With postboy scamp’ring in the roar, They raised the hue and cry, 12 And so he did, and won it too, For ho got first to town; Nor stopp’d till where he had got up, He did again get down.
