JUGGLING JERRY

I

PITCH here the tent, while the old horse grazes:

By the old hedge-side we’ll halt a stage.

It’s nigh my last above the daisies:

My next leaf ’ll be man’s blank page.

Yes, my old girl! and it’s no use crying:

Juggler, constable, king, must bow.

One that outjuggles all’s been spying

Long to have me, and he has me now.
