toby the clown, by anon.

toby’s the most famous clown,

in the country or the town;

never was a laugh so ringing,

when the children hear him singing!

see, he stands upon two legs,

with his hat for coppers begs;

do you think that you, if you

were a dog, as much could do?

little maid and little man,

throw him all the pence you can!

when perhaps he’ll show you how

he says “thank you,” bow! wow! wow!
