English poem
I
by John Stephen Farmer (1854–1916)
A cloudy night, and pretty hard it blow'd, The dashy, splashy, leary little stringer, Mounted his roan, and took the road-- Phililoo!
"My Lord Cashall's on the road to-night, Down with the lads, make my lord alight-- Ran dan row de dow, on we go!" Chorus.--Ran, dan, etc.
