"Tomorrow is
    our wedding day"

A2 John Gilpin

The dogs did bark, the children screamed,
    Up flew the windows all;
And every soul cried out, "Well done!"
    As loud as he could bawl.

A3 The Three Jovial Huntsmen

One said it was a boggart, an'
    another he say "Nay;
It's just a ge'man-farmer, that has
    gone an' lost his way"

A4 The Three Jovial Huntsmen

One said it was a bull-calf,an'
    another he said "Nay;
It's just a painted jackass, that has
    never learnt to bray."

A5 An Elegy on the Death of a Mad Dog

In Islington there lived a man,
    Of whom the world might say,
That still a godly race he ran
    Whene'er he went to pray.

A6 An Elegy on the Death of a Mad Dog

A kind and gentle heart he had,
    To comfort friends and foes;
The naked every day he clad,
    When he put on his clothes.
