Rhyme Scheme: AABCCDEEFFGHDDIIIIHere lies old Hobson Death hath broke his girt | A |
And here alas hath laid him in the dirt | A |
Or els the ways being foul twenty to one | B |
He's here stuck in a slough and overthrown | C |
'Twas such a shifter that if truth were known | C |
Death was half glad when he had got him down | D |
For he had any time this ten yeers full | E |
Dodg'd with him betwixt Cambridge and the Bull | E |
And surely Death could never have prevail'd | F |
Had not his weekly cours of carriage fail'd | F |
But lately finding him so long at home | G |
And thinking now his journeys end was come | H |
And that he had tane up his latest Inne | D |
In the kind office of a Chamberlin | D |
Shew'd him his room where he must lodge that night | I |
Pull'd off his Boots and took away the light | I |
If any ask for him it shall be sed | I |
Hobson has supt and 's newly gon to bed | I |
John Milton
