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!
