One night, as on deck, little Billy did play,There came a big wave and took himaway.His dog Bobby, did hear him cry,And to his aid quickly did fly,With a spring and a leap, he into the wave,And thus did he this little boy save; 35 And after, when through life they did jog,Billy ever cries, Love me,… … If wishes were horses, Beggars would ride;If turnips were watches, I would wear one by my side. 36
