OR WALTONIAN CHRONICLE. 45 



Last night while swimming near the shore, 



I overheard two boatmen 



Say they must be awake at four, 



And have a punt afloat then. 



List, &c.

By my craft and here they come, 



Now mind and pay attention, 



If safe you'd reach your home, 



To every thing I mention. 



If your Sire had taken my advice, 



We need not now deplore him, 



He was hookM, aud kill'd and in, a trice 



Away an Angler bore him.

He in tippling took delight, 

 Which caus'd us for to garble 5 

 He'd been drinking over might 

 With that ugly beast Ben Barbel. 

 A gentle swallowed, up he went, 

 Oh ! dreadful situation, 

 And deeply I his loss lament, 

 But you'r my consolation, 



List, &c.
