Up on a hill, about three furlongs off,
The stable-boy (not far from being a dwarf)
Was sent by Jane, and caution’d how to raise
And wave on high a strip of scarlet baize,
So soon as he beheld his master’s chaise.
(A beacon-signal to the anxious Jane,
Whilst she sat peeping through the window pane;
For on this hill a distant view arose
Of the high-road, ’long which the traveller goes
