Chapter Ten.

Toby the Clown, by Anon.

    Toby’s the most famous clown,

        In the country or the town;

    Never was a laugh so ringing,

        When the children hear him singing!

    

    See, he stands upon two legs,

        With his hat for coppers¹ begs;

    Do you think that you, if you

        Were a dog, as much could do?

    

    Little maid and little man,

        Throw him all the pence you can!

    When perhaps he’ll show you how

        He says “Thank you,” Bow! wow! wow!
