Is bent towards the road, where they espy
Sir Humphrey’s carriage coming up the “green;”
And hail the occupants, who are therein:
Then, close behind, another coach appears;
The villagers send forth unbounded cheers;—
They doff their neckerchiefs, and aught beside
Spontaneously to greet the beauteous Bride:
Sir Edward follows, with two handsome “greys,”
Outvieing in stature old Sir Humphrey’s “bays.”
