Chapter 10
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!
