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.”
