Nursery Rhyme. DCXXX. Relics.

            Hark, hark,
            The dogs do bark,
    Beggars are coming to town;
            Some in jags,
            Some in rags,
    And some in velvet gowns.

        [A marching air.]

    Darby and Joan were dress'd in black,
    Sword and buckle behind their back;
    Foot for foot, and knee for knee,
    Turn about Darby's company.

    Parson Darby wore a black gown,
    And every button cost half-a-crown;
    From port to port, and toe to toe,
    Turn the ship and away we go!

    Hink, minx! the old witch winks,
        The fat begins to fry:
    There's nobody at home but jumping Joan,
        Father, mother, and I.

    Charley wag,
    Eat the pudding and left the bag.

    As I went over the water,
        The water went over me,
    I heard an old woman crying,
        Will you buy some furmity?
