At Swindon, when the night drew nigh,
Few were the trains that went thereby,
And very dreary was the sigh
i OF damsels waiting dolefully.
But Swindon saw another sight,
When the train came at dead Of night,
Commanding oil and gas to light
Much stale confectionery.
BY soups and coffee fast allured,
Each passenger his choice secured,
Excepting those locked in, immured,
By sly policeman's treachery.
Then rushed the mob, by hunger driven;
Then vanished buns, in pieces riven;
And louder than the orders given
Fast popped the beer-artillery.
And further yet that train shall 60,
And deeper yet shall be their woe,
And greater horrors shall they know,
Who bolt their food so speedily. .~
Times up! but scarce each stated one
Can pierce the sream-cloud, rolling dun,
Where curious tart and heavy bun
Lie in dyspeptic sympathy.
The combat deepens. On, We brave!
Who scald your threats in hope to save
Some spoonfuls of your soup, the knave
Will charge for all he ladies ye!
Few, few, digest where many eat,
The nightmare shall wind up their feat,
Each carpet-bag beneath their seat
Shall seem yawning sepulchre.
