[Illustration]
Good people all,
of every sort,
Give ear unto my song;
And if you find it wondrous short,
It cannot hold you long.
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
In Islington there
lived a man,
Of whom the world might say,
That still a godly race he ran,
Whene’er he went to pray.
[Illustration] [Illustration] [Illustration] [Illustration]
A kind and gentle
heart he had,
To comfort friends and foes;
The naked every day he clad,
When he put on his clothes
[Illustration] [Illustration] [Illustration] [Illustration]
And in that town
a dog was found:
As many dogs there be—
Both mongrel, puppy, whelp, and
hound,
And curs of low degree.
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
This dog and man
at first were friends;
But, when a pique began,
The dog, to gain some private
ends,
Went mad, and bit the man.
[Illustration] [Illustration] [Illustration] [Illustration]
Around from all
the neighbouring streets
The wondering neighbours ran;
And swore the dog had lost his
wits,
To bite so good a man.
[Illustration] [Illustration] [Illustration] [Illustration] [Illustration] [Illustration]
The wound it seem’d
both sore and sad
To every christian eye;
And while they swore the dog was
mad,
They swore the man would die
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
But soon a wonder
came to light,
That show’d the rogues
they lied—
The man recover’d of the
bite;
The dog it was that died.
