ON THE TOW-PATH.

[_]

In grateful recollection of a Cambridge coach.)

Get her ready!
Forward! Row!
Keep her steady!
Let her go!
Now she's strolling!
Sit up! Bow!
You are rolling
Like a cow!
Now then, d---n it
Blazes! Two!

Try to lamm it
On man, do
Feel your stretchers!
Curse you! Three!
Can't you splash it
Over me!
Swing together,
Every oar!
Off the feather
Sooner! Four!
Keep your backs up!
Look alive
Where d'you hope to
Go to? Five!
Six! you're cocking!
Seven! you're late!

Shocking! Shocking!
Ghastly ‘eight’!
Keep it going!
Never saw
Damn'der rowing!—
E-a-s-y all!
