Where,[44] in his haste to get away,

He tumbles o’er a trunk! * * *

(Now, whilst he’s down, he hears some say

“The man is mad, or drunk.”)

Springs up again, laughs out, “All right!”

And bounds for Edgware Road,

Where (the first “public-house” in sight)

Joe takes up his abode;

Makes free with some refreshments, and

Tells how his hat was lost;
