It was in my foreign travel,
At a famous Flemish inn,
That 1 met a stout ish person
With a very ruddy skm ;
And his hair was something sandy,
And was done in knotty curls,
And was parted in the middle.
In the manner of a girl's.
He was clad in cheeked trousers,
And his coat xvas of a sort,
To suggest a scanty pattern.
It was bobbed so very short;
And his cap was vciy little,
Such as soldiers ofteu use ,
And he wore a pair of gaiters.
And extremely heavy shoes.
I addressed the man in English,
And lie answered in the same,
Though he spoke it in a fashion
That I thought a little lame :
For the aspirate was missing
Where the letter should have been.
But wher’er it wasn’t wanted.
He was sure to put it in!
