So frighten’d was he that he quite ran away,
And never was seen till this very day.
Ri too la ro, &c.
As to Von Clam he continu’d to fly,
Till he could’nt be seen with the naked eye:
But with a telescope him you might see
A flying about just like a parch’d pea.
Ri too la ro, &c.
It was about two years or more,
Since poor Von Clam so high did soar,
When in Holland was heard a most terrible sound,
Aud something fell wop right slap on the ground.
Ri too la ro, &c.
The people all ran together in crowds
To see what had fall’n from the clouds;
And they all in amazement were staring around,
To see Von Clam sitting bang on the ground.
Ri too la ro, &c.
They put him to bed but ’twas near a week
Before he recovered sufficient to speak;
And the first thing he said when he’d taken a swig,
’Twas I've been to the sun and he burnt oft my wig.
Ri too la ro, &c.
Says Von Clam, From this time, I vow and declare,
I never will wear a wig of false hair;
And whene’er I marry, without any sham,
My wife shall have me just as I am.
Ri too la ro, &c.
