“She is gone by the Hilda,

She is lost unto Whitby,

And her name is Matilda,

Which my heart it was smit by; Tho’ I take the Goliah,

I learn to my sorrow

That ‘it won’t,’ said the crier,

‘Be off till to-morrow.’


“She called me her ‘Neddy,’

(Tho’ there mayn’t be much in it,) And I should have been ready,

If she’d waited a minute;

I was following behind her

When, if you recollect, I

Merely ran back to find a

Gold pin for my neck-tie.


“Rich dresser of suet!

Prime hand at a sausage!

I have lost thee, I rue it,

And my fare for the passage!

Perhaps she thinks it funny,

Aboard of the Hilda,

But I’ve lost purse and money,

And thee, oh, my ‘Tilda!’


His pin of gold the youth undid

And in his waistcoat-pocket hid,

Then gently folded hand in hand,

And dropped asleep upon the sand.
