Excerpt from The Lay of the SheriffThe Lay ofStrike 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 pressesAll full of mildew and brocaded dresses, Fashion'd in times of yore, when in the throngOf dazzling courtiers, as they pass'd alongAbout the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
