That quaint divine Dean Swift of St. Patricks, Dublin, edited some
curious poetry for "A Royal Primer," sqr. 32mo, published in the Seven
Dials, of Dublin ("Rainbow Court").
"Ech, ech, my dear'y, and
Ach, ach, my love.
"There was a little man who had a little gun, and
"There was a little maid who was very much afraid
To get wed, wed, wed," etc.
This is long and curious, and was greatly altered and abreviated in
early 19th Century Editions.
