VIII.

Down the slippery slopes of Myrtle,

Where the early pumpkins grow,

To the calm and silent sea

Fled the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bò.

There beyond the Bay of Gurtle,

Lay a large and lively Turtle;—

“You’re the Cove,” he said, “for me;

“On your back beyond the sea,

“Turtle, you shall carry me!”

Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bò.

Said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bò.

IX.

Through the silent-roaring ocean

Did the Turtle swiftly go;

Holding fast upon his shell

Rode the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bò,

With a sad primæval motion

Towards the sunset isles of Boshen

Still the Turtle bore him well,

Holding fast upon his shell.

“Lady Jingly Jones, farewell!”

Sang the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bò,

Sang the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bò.
