I'd love to ride a charger Far-famed in every shire, Vho'd swim tho flood and climb the rock With hooves that sparkled fire; 'd love to servo Prince Charlie— But since this cannot be, ) thank you, good Sir .Walter Scott Who did those things for mo! 'd like to sec Titania Hold revel in the dew, o hunt with gatTant Rosalind, To fly where Ariel flew, 'd like to know King Harry— But since this cannot be, ) thank you, William Shakespeare, sir, Who did those things for me!
