"And that poor injer'd hanimal

"Is in a faintin state;

"There aint a thimblefull of shine,

"The fog's as black as pitch,—

"I'm flummox'd'tween them posteses

"And that most 'ateful ditch.

"So bundle out! my'oss is beat;

"I'm sick of this'ere night;—

I say, you Sir in there,—hear?——

He's bolted—blow me tight!"
