Notes |
Text: Clear the track, Hackley -- your occupation's gone! / Here comes the new machine, a lady and her throng; / Her skirts
sweep the street-- my feeling rankles-- / That men forget the dirt while gazing at her ankles. / She glides along in silence,
with grace I confess, / Till some unlucky wight puts his foot upon her dress. / She quickly turns, while he bows with sorrow
down. / And vents her spite, with "Oh! you awkward clown."
