COWPER

ANTHOLOGY.

1775-1800 A. D.

E ENTERTAINING AND FACETIOUS HISTORY OF

JOHN GILPIN ;

ING HOW HE WENT FARTHER THAN HE INTENDED,

AND CAME HOME SAFE AT LAST.

To the Tune of Chevy Chace.

JOHN GILPIN was a Citizen

Of credit and renown;

A Train-Band Captain eke was he
Of famous London Town.

t;

JOHN GILPIN'S Spouse said to her Dear, Though wedded we have been

[ocr errors]

These twice ten tedious years; yet we

No holiday have seen!

'To-morrow is our Wedding Day,
And we will then repair
Unto the Bell at Edmonton,
All in a chaise and pair.

[ocr errors]

My sister and my sister's child,
Myself and children three,

Will fill the chaise; so you must ride
On horseback after we!'

He soon replied, 'I do admire
Of womankind but one;

And you are She, my dearest Dear!
Therefore it shall be done!

'I am a Linendraper bold,

As all the World does know; And my good friend, the Calender, Will lend his horse to go.'

[ocr errors]

Quoth Mrs. GILPIN, That's well said;

And for that wine is dear,

We will be furnished with our own,

Which is so bright and clear.'
