Dolly with milk-pail on her head,
Well balanced by a pad,
Of getting safe to market had no dread,
Skipping along so thinly clad ;
For to be light that day, she chose
Her shortest petticoat and flattest shoes.
Thus trimmed, her journey she began,
And all her thoughts already ran
Upon her market cash—and buying goods—
That fast in fond idea breed.
She bought a hundred eggs that gave three broods ;
...And all went well, she took such heed.
“ I think,” she cried, “ it will be hard indeed
If I don't bring up chickens round my door ;
Reynard on me must run a cunning rig,
If he don't leave enough to buy a pig,
Which I shall fatten for a trifle, sure.
He was, when I first had him, pretty big ;
When sold again, he’ll bring a pretty sum,
The profit more than half;
And what shall hinder me to see at home
A goodly cow and calf ?
Around the flock I think I see him skip !
”On this poor joyful Dolly made a slip—
The pail came down—adieu calf, cow, pig, broods.
With downcast looks the lady of these goods,
Thus seeing all her fortune fail,
Went home her husband's clemenee to entreat,
Great risk she ran of being beat.
They made a farce out of the tale,
And called it hence the Milken-Pail.
Many this fond delusion share,
And build such castles in the air.
Pyrrhus and Picrochole, all regal powers,
Wise men and milk-maids here alike mistake,
And pass their time in dreaming wide awake.
Ours are all goods, girls, honours, all are ours.
I brave all perils, musing thus alone,
And wander, chasing monarchs from their throne ;
I'm great, I'm chosen king—they me adore ;
A turn—and I'm but poor Jean as before.
