24
In piteous case he waded through.
and gained the slippery side,
Where grinning crowds were gathered
round
To mock his fallen pride.
They led him to a neighbouring pump,
to clean his dismal face,
Whence cold & heartless home he slunk,
inveil'd in sore disgrace.
And many a bill for damage done,
his father had to pay:
Take warning youthful drivers all,
from Jehu's first essay.
FINIS.
