Good people all, of every sort,
Give ear unto my song;
And if you find it wondrous short,

[Illustration]

It cannot hold you long.

[Illustration: To the Angel]

In Islington there lived a man,
Of whom the world might say,
That still a godly race he ran,

[Illustration]

Whene'er he went

[Illustration]

to pray.

[Illustration]

[Illustration]

A kind and gentle heart he had,
To comfort friends and foes;
The naked every day he clad,

[Illustration]

When he put on

[Illustration]

his clothes.

[Illustration]

[Illustration]

And in that town a dog was found:
As many dogs there be--

[Illustration]

Both mongrel, puppy, whelp,
and hound,

[Illustration]

And curs of low degree.

[Illustration]

This dog and man at first were friends;

[Illustration]

But, when a pique began,
The dog, to gain some private ends,

[Illustration]

Went mad, and bit the man.

[Illustration]

[Illustration]

Around from all

[Illustration]

the neighbouring streets

[Illustration]

The wondering neighbours ran;

[Illustration]

[Illustration]

And swore the dog had lost his wits,

[Illustration: Blind]

To bite so good a man.

[Illustration]

The wound it seem'd both sore and sad
To every christian eye;

[Illustration]

[Illustration]

And while they swore the dog was mad,

[Illustration]

They swore the man would die.

But soon a wonder came to light,
That show'd the rogues they lied--

[Illustration]

The man recover'd of the bite,

[Illustration]

The dog it was that died.
