Over the way!

Thrice I have rowed her in a fairy shallop,

Thrice raced to Gretna in a neat “poshay,”

And showered crowns to make the horses gallop

Over the way!

And thrice I’ve started up from dreams appalling

Of killing rivals in a bloody fray—

There is a young man very fond of calling

Over the way!

Oh! happy man—above all kings in glory,
