The famed John Gilpin’s grandson, he
Abides in London town.
To our John Gilpin said his dear,
“Stewed up here as we’ve been
Since Whitsuntide, ’tis time that we
Should have a change of scene.
“To-morrow is a leisure day,
And we’ll by rail repair
Unto the Nell at Dedmanton,
And take a breath of air.
