Oh! ’twas a fearsome sight! Ah me!
A deed to shudder at,—not to see.
The clock strikes
Nine! ’twas the last concluding stroke!
And then—my Lord Tomnoddy awoke!
“Hollo! Hollo!
Here’s a rum go!
Why, Captain!—my Lord!—-here’s the devil to pay!
The fellow’s been cut down and taken away!
What’s to be done?
