Bailey ! And so he lived — and so he died : — When last I sat beside his pillow. He shook my hand — " Ah me !" — he cried. "Penelope must wear the willow. Tell her I hugged her rosy chain While life was flickering in the socket : And say, that when I call again, I'll bring a license in my pocket. " I've left my house and grounds to Fag — (I hope his master's shoes will suit him ;) And I've bequeathed to you my nag. To feed him for my sake — or shoot him. The Vicar's wife will take old Fox — She...'ll find him an uncommon mouser ; And let her husband have my box, My Bible, and my Assmanshauser. Whether I ought to die or not My doctors cannot quite determine ; It's only clear that I shall rot, And be, like Priam, food for vermin. THE BELLE OF THE BALL. 139 My debts are paid ; — but Nature's debt Almost escaped my recollection ! Tom ! we shall meet again ; and yet /j I cannot leave you my direction !" III. — THE BELLE OF THE BALL. Years — years ago — ere yet my dreams Had been of being wise and witty ; Ere I had done with writing themes, Or yawn'd o'er this infernal Chitty ; Years, years ago, while all my joys Were in my fowling-piece and filly ; In short, while I was yet a boy, I fell in love with Laura Lilly.
