SONGSTER. 76
TTiey danced, and soon got hot.
The fish began to fry;
Upon my life, &c.
By way of a savory dish,
1 toasted a whale on a fork.
Drank thirty dozen of wine.
In the lime you could draw a cork.
Pick'd my teeth with a Unicorn's horn«
Which came trotting by :
Upon my life, &c.
In the east I din'd with a friend.
Where they had no v/indow sashes.
The sunbeams enter'd the room.
And burnt his wife to ashes ;
Sweep your mistress away, said he.
Bring wine for my friend and I;
Upon my life, &c.
I came home on a Congreve rocket;
So swift the sea I cross'd.
That only for Nelson's pillar.
Dear Dublin Pd surelv lost:
With joy shook hands with the pillar,
Which instantly wink'd its eye;
Upon my life, &c.
ISanks of ISraiidtyivisne.
One morning, very early, in the pleasant month of May,
As I walked forth to take the air,all nature being gay.
The moon had not yet veil'd her face, but through the
trees did shine.
As I wander'd for amusement, on the banks of Brandywine.
