 Says John, It is my wedding-day, / And all the world would stare, / If wife should dine at Edmonton, / And I should dine at Ware. |
| Philologists who chase / A panting syllable through time and space, / Start it at home, and hunt it in the dark, / To Gaul, to Greece, and into Noah's ark. |
| Mountains interposed / Make enemies of nations, who had else, / Like kindred drops, been mingled into one. |
| I would not enter on my list of friends / (Though graced with polished manners and fine sense, / Yet wanting sensibility) the man / Who needlessly sets foot upon a worm. |
| Charge / His mind with meanings that he never had. |
| A land-breeze shook the shrouds, / And she was overset; / Down went the Royal George, / With all her crew complete. |
| John Gilpin was a citizen / Of credit and renown, / A train-band captain eke was he / Of famous London town. |
| My hat and wig will soon be here, / They are upon the road. |
| Not scorned in Heaven, though little noticed here. |
| Let her pass, and charioted along / In guilty splendour, shake the public ways! |
| Detested sport, / That owes its pleasures to another's pain. |
| Blest be the art that can immortalize. |
| So you must ride / On horseback after we. |
| And the first smith was the first murderer's son. |
