D. O. HILL

[_]

Air—“Ar hyd de nos.”

Hark! what means that catter-wauling,
Wild, harsh, and shrill?
'Tis the voice of Paxton calling,
D. O. Hill,
Bring back, bring back, the public to me,
It must be you that stole them from me,
Is't thus you pay the love you owe me,
D. O. Hill!
Where's M`Kenzie, Rhind, and Ellis,
D. O. Hill?
Say where Outram, say where Bell is,
D. O. Hill;
Wile them here with song and story,
Well you know how they adore you,
Give me back my former glory,
D. O. Hill.
Will you evermore forget me,
D. O. Hill?
I would love you would you let me,
D. O. Hill:
How oft I wish that I could be
A crane, a castle, or a tree,
That I might win one thought from thee,
D. O. Hill.
 

See note, p. 193.

Paxton was landlord of the famous Beef-steak Club and Marrowbone Tavern in Fleshmarket Close, Edinburgh.
