THE MONUMENT TURNED UPSIDE DOWN.
'Tis said that an enemy once took in hand,
To steal the old monument out of our land,
And lest that in carting it off it should crack,
Sent a fellow to bring it away on his back.
To steal the old monument out of our land,
And lest that in carting it off it should crack,
Sent a fellow to bring it away on his back.
So with saws and with pick-axes arm'd cap-a-pee,
By night, with a lanthorn, away trotted he,
But that was so clumsy, and he was so slim,
That he could not take it up, but we took up him.
By night, with a lanthorn, away trotted he,
But that was so clumsy, and he was so slim,
