Summary

edit
Description
English: T'wixt cup and lip Alas! we see

Both wine and lovers spilt may be.
Against the Post, the horses run
The Reins are lost the Coachman's flung
Pig flies aloft, Miss tumbles down
Broke is her neck, and crack'd his crown!

Moral.

Behold the crisis of our awful story
And catch this Moral from the Scene before ye
If e'er at Gretna Green a lover glances

Crane-necks remember, and beware mischances.
