as I am proudId sing him over the town!Why should I speak low, sailor ? That good ship went down. Hows my boy — my boy ? What care I for the ship, sailor, I was never aboard her ? Be she afloat or be she aground. Sinking or swimming, Ill be bound Her owners can a:fford her! I say, hows my John ?… … WILLIAM ALLINGHAM (1824-1889.) THE FAIRIES, P the airy mountain,Down the rushy glen,We darent go a-huntingFor fear of little men;Wee folk, good folk. Trooping all together;Green jacket, red cap.And white owls feather!
