■‘ To judder by l.hy companion, sir,
Thou art a bawling calf—
For men are known, I trow, sir, by
Ye company they keep—
Though only chickens roost in trees
Whilst honest people sleep !M
Sir Mose yelled fiercely; but, quite weak
From hanging all ye night,
Me fed upon ye bull, which tossed
Him clean up out of sight!

C anto IV.

Then up gat bold young Saril-u-el
And galloped down ye lane,
Unto his true-love’s window-ledge,
And tapped upon ye pane :
‘■Come forth, swect-heart; my love thou art!
Come forth ami hie away!
Thou'It married be, dear girl, to me,
Before high noon tins day.
Sweet. All.u’dnda, fly with me,
And ride these vast concerns,
Held safe in trust for bold Sir Mosel
(If ever he returns !)11

Now gallop, gallop, gallant horse !
Now gallop with thy prize!
And hurl ye clay in chuncks away
As big as apple-pies!
Fly down ye road, around ye hill,
Up to ye castle door;
Across ye trembling drawbridge fly
Up to ye banquet floor!
