And he was caught as in a gin;

For as he thus was busy,

A pain he in his head-piece feels,

Against a stubbed tree he reels,

And up went poor Hobgoblin's heels;

Alas! his brain was dizzy!

At length upon his feet he gets,

Hobgoblin fumes, Hobgoblin frets;

And as again he forward sets,

And through the bushes scrambles,
