SONG XXXVII. THE BLIND FIDDLERS.

Last market day even,
John Gibbons, blind Stephen,
And two other fiddlers that never could see,
They fought battle royal,
An hour by the dial,
Before that each party'd consent to agree,
The landlady cries out,
They'll knock all their eyes out,
A speech by a bystander not to be bore.
So down Sykes did toss her,
And laid the sack across her,
And there she remained till the battle was o'er.
