see how he's run away with all my gingerbread !—

alive he's no more alive than you are!—— Who's

the next puts in a penny and tries his luck here

again? all prizes here, and no blanks!- Now's

your time to see that celebrated vonderful vooden

(illegible text) Mr Punch, for the small charge of one

JOCKEY THE SHEPHERD.


As Jockey went out in the fine dewey morning,

He carelessly laid himself under a bush,

He had not been long there till a damesel came by

And on this young youth she cast a languishing eye


Did you see my ewes my bonny young man,

With two little lambs that stray’d from their dam,

If you did, gentle shepherd, come tell me I pray,

Down in yonder green wood there they do lye.

Where Jockey follow’d after her and lay in a bush


She rang’d the green woods over and no lammies could find,

She instantly blam’d the young swain in her mind,
