On beds of down our dandies lie,
And vvastf the cheerful morn,
While our Squires of old would rouse the day
To the sound of the bugle horn ;
And their wives took care
The feast to prepare, *
For when they left the plain
Oh 'twas merry in the hall,
The beards watrg'd all —
We shall ne'er see the like again.
No. 20.
*Twas then the Christmas tale was told
Of goblin, fjhost, or fairy,
And they cheer'd the hearts of the tenants old
With a cup of ^ood canary ;
And they each took a smack
At the cold biack jack
•Till the fire buin'd in their brain.
Oh 'twas merry in the hail,
The beards wagg'd all —
May we all see the like again.
