OR WALTONIAN CHRONICLE. 146 



They to Southend their steps would bend 



To meet there Jack and Charley ; 

 While some from town by coach went down, 



Prepar'd to fish there fairly, 

 And rise next morn, at early dawn 



To welcome Jack and Charley. 

 Once eight, &c. 



2. 



One lucky wight went over night 



To Brixton town 'tis clearly, 

 I heard him say he'd be half way 



And get to Southend early ; 

 But a sorry tale of hill and dale 



He told them how he drear'ly, 

 Thro' mud and mire his legs did tire 



Ere he met Jack and Charley. 

 Once eight, &c. 



3. 



Sure it is sweet a pal to meet 

 At his fixed time, or nearly, 



And they all met, a social set 

 Like these are seen but rarely ; 



The landlord there I can declare, 

 Tho' some may think him surly,
