Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 60
22 And while the lad sang out his Tra-la-la! The smith beat a Clang! Cling-clang ITill merriest music that merry morn Mid echoing rocks loud rang. … So soon did the mare amble forth well shod,So quickly the task was done,My faith ! cried the lad, any other smithBy now would have just begun! In joyfullest haste did he mount the mare,And say, as he stroked her flank,We 11 be at the Fair ere the drum-beat calls.For that the good smith we thank!
