shed off on his ride, o'er the side
He rolled, and then rolled down the hill;--
A snowball, like Heidelberg's fun of renown,
Buried Timothy Trundle of Topplety Town.

Of Timothy Trundle, the youth like an O,
For years I had never a trace
Till I went to a circus, and lo! in the show
I found his full-moon of a face.
A troup of trick tumblers performed, and the clown
Was Timothy Trundle of Topplety Town!
