IX

No long time after, Jane was seen

Directing jumps at Daddy Green;

And that old man, to watch her fly,

Had eyebrows made of arches high;

Till homeward he likewise did hop,

Oft calling on himself to stop!

X

It was a scene when man and maid,

Abandoning all other trade,

And careless of the call to meals,

Went jumping at the woman’s heels.

By dozens they were counted soon,

Without a sound to tell their tune.
