As the game of all games—high toby?[235]

The traveller hears him, away! away!

Over the wide wide heath he scurries;

He heeds not the thunderbolt summons to stay,

But ever the faster and faster he hurries.

But what daisy-cutter can match that black tit?

He is caught—he must “stand and deliver;”

Then out with the dummy,[236] and off with the bit,[237]

Oh! the game of high toby for ever!

Chorus.
