And examined the child and his clothes;

Whilst a fussy physician, with looks most profound,

Wiped his aristocratical nose.

"It is, I declare, most uncommonly fair,

And its voice, oh! how sweet when it cries;

It really would seem like the child of a dream,

Or an angel just dropt from the skies."

Now, poor Johnny Lord and his mother were laid,

Both fainting and cold on the straw;
