We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

DAME PERKINS AND HER GREY MARE. By permission of Sampson Low, Son, and Marston. 1 The old grey mare wa3 trotted out, And rubbed adown with straw; As grim and gaunt an old grey mare As ever bumpkin saw. I “ Plague take thee, Sal,” Dame Pcrkias said, “ If at this stumbling gait A dozen miles I am to ride, I’ll get to ‘Worcester late.” 8 At length, as from an ugly dream, She woke with sudden snort. Pricked up her ears, and shook her head. Then all at once Btopped short. 4 On came the hounds and huntsmen all. And shrill the blast they blew ; With red cloak streaming out behind, Away Dame Perkins flew. S With one light bound she cleared the leap. Nor brushed it with her legs. Ah! woe betide the curds and cheese, And woe betide the eggs. G A famous swimmer was the mare, How well she plied her legs; Ah I woe betide the curds aud checae. And woe betide the eggs. 7 It mattered little to the mare, Sho hadn’t time to wait; With Perkins clinging to her neck, She cleared the turnpike gate. 8 Regardful of my due, a pad Content am I to claim, And with all gallantry award The brush to rerkins’ dame.
