 When first good came (For was that Bishop's name), To humour them, he did the same
 * As they of Rum-ti-Foo.

His flock, I've often heard him tell, (His name was ) loved him well, And summoned by the sound of bell,
 * In crowds together came.

"Oh, massa, why you go away? Oh,, please to stay." (They called him, people say,
 * Because it was his name.)

He told them all good boys to be, And sailed away across the sea, At London Bridge that Bishop he
 * Arrived one Tuesday night—

And as that night he homeward strode To his Pan-Anglican abode, He passed along the Borough Road
 * And saw a gruesome sight.

He saw a crowd assembled round A person dancing on the ground, Who straight began to leap and bound
 * With all his might and main.
