THE HIGH-PADS FROLIC [Notes] [1841]

_Ade._ Crissy odsbuds, I'll on with my duds, And over the water we'll flare; _Kit._ Coaches and prads, lasses and lads, And fiddlers will be there. _Ade._ There beauty blushes bright, _Kit._ The punch is hot and strong, _Both._And there we'll whisk it, frisk it, whisk it, Skip it, and trip it along!
