. ., ' .t •»;• ' »;. ^» '»'■ 1 * it fli* i i l •. ■ .s . . • ' : Ana tie paid me to buy aim a naiter : AM \^- : - •> ■*--* - THE LAST SHILLING 219 " Nay, nay, to lay the blame on me, Good Mary, is unkind ; I never yet advised the sea, A woman, or the wind.
Hark, hark, the bells are ringing now !
They sound with might and main ; I what they say can hear. Canst thou ? ** " I hear 'em, sir, too plain.
* But, as the fool thinks So the bell tinks :' But folly 'twas set me on, Intent upon my foolish ...freak, They cry, as plain as they can speak, Don't, Mary, marry John." THE LAST SHILLING.
As pensive, one night, in my garret I sate, My last shilling produced on the table ; That advent'rer, cried I, might a histr'y relate, If to think and to speak it were able.
Whether fancy or magic 'twas play'd me the freak, The face seem'd with life to be filling, And cried, instantly speaking, or seeming to speak, Pay attention to me thy last shilling.
I was once the last coin of the law a sad limb, Who in cheating was ne'er known to faulter ; Till at length, brought to justice, the law cheated him, And he paid me to buy him a halter : 220 A Jack Tar, all his rhino but me at an end, With a pleasure so hearty and willing, Though hungry himself, to a poor distress'd friend, Wish'd it hundreds, and gave his last shilling.
