| And helped to lift it o'er a narrow brook | A |
| No horse it had except one boy who drew | B |
| His sister out in it the fields to view | B |
| O happy town bred girl in fine chaise going | C |
| For the first time to see the green grass growing | C |
| This was the end and purport of the ride | D |
