Excerpt from The Lay of the Sheriff

Strike up at once, to celebrate this day!
Who'd not be jolly, and who'd not be gay?
I little thought such happy times to see,
Such bliss, such joys, a sheriff's Ma to be!
Is't true ?can such felicity be mine?
It glads me more than all my currant wine!

With tamarinds, nuts, and many a luscious store;
There's my old chair, and here the oaken presses
All full of mildew and brocaded dresses,
Fashion'd in times of yore, when in the throng
Of dazzling courtiers, as they pass'd along
