English poem
Iv
by John Stephen Farmer (1854–1916)
_Kit._ The morning may dawn as sure as you're born, _Ade._ Will find us dancing alone _Kit._ I'll get a hack, be off in a crack, _Ade._ An elegant Darby and Joan! How'll the vulgarians stare As they see you sportingly! _Both._For none can splash it, dash it, splash it, _Crissy Addy_ little you and I.

THE DASHY, SPLASHY.... LITTLE STRINGER [Notes] [1841]
