Dolly's Revenge the lines of which read:

One Monday in July
Strolled by the banks
OF the ripping River Dee,
The summer smiled around
There scarcely a sound
But the beating of my heart
And the humming of the. bee;
| was pulling at my glove,
For knew words OF love
Would greet my anxious ear that day;
Upon fallen tree
That lay across the Dee
We sat, and thus he spoke to my dismay:
Now, Dolly, we must part,
Though I'm sorry in my heart;
But ambition calls me hence
From home and thee;
l must go to London town,
must win Lord Mayors gown,
And OF course, must wed maid of high degree;
I must be knight
A man of mighty might;
And knight and village maid would ne'er a gree.
To regret would be folly
SO forget me, dearest Dolly;
But gazed in silent sadness
Down the rushing River Dee.
l felt my heart a-Swelling
And felt the tears dwelling,
But knew full well he wasn't worth q thought:
So. chasing all my sadness,
In a mood of merry madness,
A plan of sweet revenge / swiftly wrought;
Twas a leafess, withered tree
That lay across the Dee,
And the false one sat midway upon the beam;
Just one gentle push l gave
And splashng mid the wave,
Behold the traitor floating down the stream!
