3. PART THE THIRD.

Male.
Now we're all here met together,
In spite of wind and weather,
To moisten well our clay.
Before we think of jogging—

Female.
With lowly suit, and plaintive ditty,
I call the tender mind to pity,
Here's tales of love, of maids forsaken,
Of battles fought and—

Male.
Our brave Commander's story!
With ardent zeal his youthful heart
Swell'd high for—

Female.
Sweet Kitty of the Clyde!
Sweet Kitty, sweet Kitty of—

Male.
Wapping Old Stairs!
No tighter lass is going,
From Irongate to Limehonse Hole,
You'll never meet—


193

Female.
A man that never lov'd,
Nor felt soft woman's sigh—
Is there a man can mark unmov'd—

Male.
A bumper of good liquor,
Will end a contest quicker
Than Justice, Squire, or Vicar,
So let the glass go round!

Female.
All round my hat,
I wear a green willow!

Male.
All round my hat,
Around! around! around!

Female.
In the dead of the night,
When with labour opprest,
All mortals enjoy
The sweet blessings of rest—
A boy tapp'd at my—

Male.
Little foolish fluttering thing—
Little foolish fluttering—

Female.
Jim Crow!
Every time I turn about I jump—

Male.
Within a mile of Edinboro' town,
In the rosy time of the year:
Sweet lavrocks bloom'd, and the grass was down,
And each laddie kiss'd his dear—

Female.
A long time ago!
When we went out a gipseying—

Male.
In the clover,
When the bloom was on the rye.
Ri tol folderol de rido!
Ri tol folderol de rido!
Ri tol folderol de rido!
Ri tol folderol de ra!

Ambo.
For we won't go home till the morning—
We won't go home till the morning—
We won't go home till the morning,
Till daylight has appeared!
Hip hip hip hip, hurrah!
Hip hip hip hip, hurrah!

194

For we are jolly good fellows—
For we are jolly good fellows—
For we are jolly good fellows—
Hip hip hip hip, hurrah!
