The landlord -was in a most terrible fright
Hed no peace by night or by day,*
So he sent for this mirror of learnings bright,
To see if the Ghost he could lav.
Says the scholar 1 can^ for at magic I dash,
Not e'en for Old Nick care a button;
So dont be in a stew, for 111 settle the Ijash,
Of this Ghost of a grim Scrag of Mutton.

He made a great fire, and he put on the pot,
Then claps in the turnips the parsk A,r ml ' < : s,
The clock it struck twelve when the water was \mA,
And the hinge of the casement loud creaks.
The moment was awfu!, a terrible Job,
When, with a long neck, like a glutton,
And a grin monstrous ghastly, poppd in the queer nob,
Of this Ghost of a grim Scrag of Mutton.

For my broth, 'ere the pot it boils faster,
So prythee comein-"said the mutton. I shant

Then the scholar he caught up a fork in great wrath
Stuck it under his rib like a glutton,
Sousd him into the boiler and finislid his broilv
Mith the Ghost of the grim Scrag of Mutton.

The story thus finished, the moral shant lag;
Tho the landlord had such a faintheart,
Not the only one he whos been scard by a scrag,
For a scrags but a small Bany.part .
So the Emperor Scrag in fear Europe has go^
Tho John Bull dont mind him a button;
For Johnnys the scholar who"! I send him to pot,
Like the Ghost of a grim Scrag of Mutton.
