Excerpt from The Lay of the Sheriff
The Lay of
Strike up at once, to celebrate this day!
Who'd not be jolly, and who'd not be gay?
I little thought such happy times to see,
Such bliss, such joys, a sheriff's Ma to be!
Is't true ?can such felicity be mine?
It glads me more than all my currant wine!
Or do I dream? or are my senses flown?
It's very strange, and mighty queer, I own,
But yet I am, I must be, Mrs. Van!
If I ain't, who is? who, good Heavens! can?
I see my cupboards full, and running o'er,
With tamarinds, nuts, and many a luscious store,
There's my old chair, and here the oaken presses
All full of mildew and brocaded dresses,
Fashion'd in times of yore, when in the throng
Of dazzling courtiers, as they pass'd along
