Oft WALTONIAN CHRONICLE. 33 



Dan Dace took his mother's best saucepan, 

 That his greaves might be soft and well boiled, 

 For this master Dan got a hiding, 

 For his mother's new saucepan was spoiled, 

 Some people, &c. 



3. 



A bag that might carry his rod in, 

 Dan made from two sleeves of a coat, 

 He got sixpence for going an errand, 

 And bought him a porcupine float. 

 A box that once held paste blacking, 

 A pen'worth of gentles contained, 

 And he said he would take his umbrella, 

 To sit underneath if it rained. 



Some people, &c. 



4. 



Barney's father was one of Reid's draymen, 

 He stole to the stables one day, 

 And tugged at the tail of a dray horse, 

 And tore a good handful away, 

 His mother boiled him some bacon, 

 And filled a quart bottle with pease, 

 And 'tis certain he's not the first bobber, 

 That has made a good dinner on these. 

 Some people, &c.
