We make no longer stay ; Let Momus rule the day- Get a snack before we go- Some gravy soup-hollo! (Spoken in different voices. J-Why waiter !--Coming sir.- Where's my gravy soup?-Just took off the gridiron.-make haste, I shall loose my place. I hope your honour will remember the poor ostler.--Are the beefstakes ready?..No! but your chops are.-.What a concourse of people are going in these coaches!--All fast behind.--Hip. (Imitates the sound of the guard's horn. Then 'tis away we rattle, Jolly dogs and stylish cattle, What work for man and beast! And afterwards make haste. On every side approach! They cry--I've lost the coach. Suchen in various voices.) -- How's this? I'm sure my name was booked...No such thing ma'am.--A lady and a parrot in a cage-- That fare can't go inside, one parrot's enough at a time.--No room for two ladies? --None at all for females; this is a mail coach.--Set me down at the butcher's shop; I should not like to be seen getting out of a coach, ------- Tie a handkerchief round your neck, Billy; you'll catch cold.-- Yes; good bye grandpapa--give my love to grandmamma.--Hip! (Imitates the horn.d Then 'tis away we rattle, Jolly dogs and stylish cattle, Away we scamper all. Begin to sing and bawl ! And others come no doubt ; Four insides and one out. (Spoken in different voices. )-- Are my boxes all site:-- You have put my trunk in a wrong coach. --Never fear, ma'am we shall overtake it.-- What a figure you cut in that Welch wig.--Hold your tongue, sirrah; you've woke me out of a comfortable nap... Keep the windows shut; I've got a cold and stiff neck--my little girl isn't well...Keep your feet in ; you've got your leg between mine... I don't mind it if the gentleman don't.-- Hip! (Imitates the horny Then 'tis away we rattle, Jolly dogs and stylish cattle, * * * * * * * * DISTRESS ON DISTRESS; OR, MISS WIGLEY AND DEPUTY DENT. MISS WIGLEY, her lover call'd first of the fair ; The pride of her heart was call'd Deputy Dent; She admir'd his sound teeth, he her fine head of hair He talk'd about marriage-she gave her consent. It happen'd unluckily, both in a breath, Made a vow, sober, serious, without fun or rig; She never to marry a man with false teeth, And he any woman that sported a wig. Now Miss Wigley a fever had had in her youth, That completely had left her dear head without hair; And a fall from a horse had dislodg'd every tooth, Of poor Deputy Dent, that is jaws were quite bare. One day at her toilette, he knock'd at the door, She, bare-headed, cried Betty, well here's a fine rig, What to do, cry!d Miss Wigley, I don't know, I'm sure; He must not, at all events, find out the wig. Bless my soul, is there nothing; lud what shall we do; I have it-a good thought, I don't care a pin. So under her toilette, her caxon she threw, And manfully cried out, Sir, you may come in. He started, drew back, gave a kind of a hoot! Did fond lover e'er such an accident twig; She bridl'd and courtsey'd, as bald as a coote, In her flutter, forgetting her head had no wig. With gravity he was no longer endued, His risible muscles unmasterable grew.; And while a loud volley of laughter ensued, His jaws he so stretch'd that out ev'ry tooth few. Distress on distress! what will these lovers do Tho' neither could laugh, they both relish'd the rig, And somewhat consol'd, while each vow'd to be true, She pick'd up his teeth, and he search'd for her wig: |
