201. oldal - JOHN GILPIN was a citizen Of credit and renown, A trainband captain eke was he Of famous London town. John Gilpin's spouse said to her dear, Though wedded we have been These twice ten tedious years, yet we No holiday have seen.

My sister, and my sister's child, Myself, and children three, Will fill the chaise ; so you must ride On horseback after we.
204. oldal - Now see him mounted once again Upon his nimble steed, Full slowly pacing o'er the stones With caution and good heed.

29. oldal - And having dropped the expected bag — pass on. He whistles as he goes, light-hearted wretch, Cold and yet cheerful : messenger of grief Perhaps to thousands, and of joy to some, To him indifferent whether grief or joy.
209. oldal - The youth did ride, and soon did meet John coming back amain ! Whom in a trice he tried to stop, By catching at his rein : But not performing what he meant, And gladly would have done, The frighted steed he frighted more, And made him faster run.
