	Anecdotes and Adventures of Fifteen Gentlemen [10-12]

There was an old soldier of Bicester,
Was walking one day with his sister,
A bull, with one poke,
Toss'd her into an oak,
Before the old gentleman miss'd her.

There was a sick man of Tobago,
Liv'd long on rice-gruel and sago;
But at last to his bliss,
The physician said this --
"To a roast leg of mutton you may go."

An old gentleman living at Harwich,
At ninety was thinking of marriage,
In came his granson,
Who was just twenty-one,
And went off with the bride in his carriage.
