As he dashes proudly by!

And there’s not a gentle heart of all—

Let weal or woe betide—

That would not leap with dear delight

To be his happy bride.

“The day goes down on Hounslow-heath,

The night wind sighs amain;

Hurrah! Hurrah, for the road!

For now begins his reign.

Heighho! How the ladies cry,
