Next night 'twas the same! and the next, and the next:
He perspir'd like an ox,-he was nervous and vex'd.
Week pass'd after week, till, by weekly succession,
His weakly condition was past all expression.
Derry down, &c.

In six months his acquaintance began for to doubt him,
For his skin like a lady's loose gown hung about him;
He sent for a doctor, and cried like a ninny,-
'I have lost many pounds,-make me well, there's a
guinea!'
Derry down, &c.

The doctor look'd wise ;-'A slow fever,' he said;
Prescrib'd sudorificks, and going to bed ;-
'Sudorificks in bed!' exclaim'd Will, are humbugs:
I've enough of them there, without paying for drugs.'
Derry down, &c.

Will kick'd out the doctor ;-but, when ill indeed,
E'en dismissing the doctor don't always succeed;

So, calling his host, he said, 'Sir, do you know I'm the fat Single Gentleman, six months ago.' Derry down, &c.

'Look'e, landlord! I think,' argued Will with a grin, "That with honest intentions you first took me in: But from the first night-and to say it I'm boldI have been so damn'd hot, I have sure got a cold.' Derry down, &c.

Quoth the landlord, 'Till now I ne'er had a dispute; I've let lodgings ten years-I'm a baker to boot⚫ In airing your sheets, sir, my wife is no sloven; And your bed is immediately over my oven,' Derry down, &c.

'The oven! says Will.-Says the host, 'Why this passion?

In that excellent bed died three people of fashion! Why so crusty, good sir?''Zounds!' cries Will in a taking,

Who wouldn't be crusty with half a year's baking?" Derry down, &c.

Will paid for his rooms.-Cried the host with a

Not for

Dost thou weep to see my anguish?
Mark me, and avoid my woe?
When men flatter, sigh, and languish,
Think them false;-I found them so :
For I lov'd him so sincerely,

None could ever love again,
But the youth I lov'd so dearly
Stole the wits of Crazy Jane.
Fondly my young heart receiv'd him,
Which was doom'd to love but one:
He sigh'd, he vow'd, and I believ'd him;
He was false, and I undone,

cra - zy Jane.

From that hour has reason never
Held her empire o'er my brain
;
Henry fled, with him for ever
Fled the wits of Crazy Jane.
Now forlorn and broken-hearted,
And with frenzied thougths beset,
On that spot where last we parted,
On that spot where first we met,
Still I sing my love-lorn ditty,-
Still I slowly pace the plain;
Whilst each passer-by, in pity,
Cries, God help thee, Crazy Jane.
