The wind did blow, the cloak did fly, Like streamer long and gay, Till loop and button failing both, At last it flew away. Then might all i)eople well discern The bottles he had slung; A bottle swinging at each side, As hath been said or sung. The dogs did bark, the children scream'd. Up flew the windows all; And every soul cried out — "Well done!" As loud as he could bawl. Away went Gilpin — who but he ? His fame soon spread around, "He carries weight: he rides a race! 'Tis for a thousand poun...d!" BAKER II — 9 129 And still as fast as he drew near, 'Twas wonderful to view How in a trice the turnpike men Their gates wide open threw. And now, as he went bowing down His reeking head full low. The bottles twain behind his back Were shatter'd at a blow. Down ran the wine into the road, Most piteous to be seen, Which made his horse's flanks to smoke As they had basted been. But still he seem'd to carry weight, With leathern girdle braced ; For all might see the bottle necks Still dangling at his waist.
