III Spring's the boy for rum going and coming it, Smashing and dashing, and tipping it prime, Eastward and westward, and sometimes back-slumming it, He's for the scratch, and come up too in time;For the victualling-office no favor he'll ask it, For smeller and ogles he feels just the same;At the pipkin to point, or upset the bread-basket, He's always in twig, and bang-up for the game;With going and tipping, and priming and timing 'Till groggy and queery, straight-forwards the rig;With ogles and... smellers, no piping and chiming, You'll own he's the boy that is always in twig. BOBBY AND HIS MARY [Notes][1826] [From _Universal Songster_, iii. 108]. Tune--_Dulce Domum_. In Dyot-street a booze-ken stood, [1] Oft sought by foot-pads weary, And long had been the blest abode Of Bobby, and his Mary. For her he'd nightly pad the hoof, [2] And gravel tax collect [3]For her he never shammed the snite. Though traps tried to detect him; [4]When darkey came he sought his home While she, distracted blowen [5] She hailed his sight, And, ev'ry night The booze-ken rung As they sung, O, Bobby and his Mary.
