John Keats - Dawlish FairJohn Keats - Dawlish Fair
Work rating: Low


Over the hill and over the dale,   And over the bourn to Dawlish-- Where gingerbread wives have a scanty sale   And gingerbread nuts are smallish. ------------- Rantipole Betty she ran down a hill   And kicked up her petticoats fairly; Says I I`ll be Jack if you will be Gill--   So she sat on the grass debonairly. Here`s somebody coming, here`s somebody coming!   Says I `tis the wind at a parley; So without any fuss any hawing and humming   She lay on the grass debonairly. Here`s somebody here and here`s somebody there!   Says I hold your tongue you young Gipsey; So she held her tongue and lay plump and fair   And dead as a Venus tipsy. O who wouldn`t hie to Dawlish fair,   O who wouldn`t stop in a Meadow, O who would not rumple the daisies there   And make the wild fern for a bed do!
