And sent the frowning Biddy to her seat,
Who mutter'd something that I can't repeat!
Long Curly next our hero's post relieves,
And Kitty Duff gives place to Nelly Reeves:
Curly, the piper's son, Ned Joyce, supplants;
The blind old father knows his step, and chants
The lilt with double force: Miss Higgins next
Sets down Miss Reeves; Ned Joyce retires, half vext,
For Knock-knee'd Phelim, who, despite his pins,
Applause from all for heel-and-toeing wins!
