III

When we starts the blessed donkey stops,

He won't move, so out I quickly 'ops,

Pals start whackin' him, when down he drops,

Someone says he wasn't made to go.

Lor it might 'ave been a four-in-'and,

My Old Dutch knows 'ow to do the grand, [9]

First she bows, and then she waves 'er 'and,

Calling out we're goin' for a blow!

"Wot cher!" &c.
