[The Words by George Colman, Esq.]

ORRILA AND LODOWICK.
Foul, fair,
Orrila willingly
Round the world with you/me will ride;

12

O rare!
You will/I shall look killingly
On a post-horse by your side.
LODOWICK.
Whip, crack!
Spurring and cantering
We shall thro' the mud be dash'd;
Good lack!
I shall be bantering
When two pretty legs are splash'd.

ORRILA.
Fie, fie, Lodowick!
That's a saucy trick.
Nought shall part us though,

LODOWICK.
No,—no,—no

ORRILA.
In spite of weather then
We'll together then—

BOTH.
Bantering,
Cantering,
Splattering,
Clattering.

BOTH.
Foul, fair, &c. &c.

ORRILA.
Heigho!
Drearily, wearily,
We shall reach our Inn at night.


13

LODOWICK.
If so,
Merrily, cheerily,
We can sup by candle-light.

ORRILA.
Rooms full; bedding will fail us—then

LODOWICK.
In these arms you'll sleep at ease;

ORRILA.
Meat gone—What's to regale us then?

LODOWICK.
Kisses sweet and bread and cheese.

ORRILA.
Fie, fie, saucy man!
That's a silly plan,
Nought shall part us though, &c.
