ADVENTURES OF MATTY MARVELOUS, 
 
 London J L, Marks 3 
 
 
Matty Marvellous is my name, 
 I reached the highest pitch of fame, 
 h you allow, without a doubt, 
 V vou this history have read out. 
 
 J had my Trousers, made so small. 
 My coat and waistcoat hid them all, 
 My Hat, I bought of largest size, 
 To keep the wind from out my eyes. 
 
 Oh the wonders, I have seen. 
 Bellows that played God save the Queen, 
 Which made the Kittle fume and fret, 
 The Cat to dance a Minuette. 
 
 To gain the secret, then I tried, 
 Bv taking out, the w-orks inside, 
 And you'll scarce believe me when I say, 
 The Tune they would no longer play.

 i he Wonderful Bellows 
 
I went one day, to catch some fish, 
 Thinking for dinner, to have a dish, 
 But if the truth, it must be told, 
 Instead of Fish 1 caught a cold. 
 
 One day I bought of Eggs a dozen, 
 To take as a present, to my Cousin, 
 In my pocket, placed them, great & small, 
 Then sat down, and smashed them all, 
 
 Once of a friend, I bought a horse, 
 Whose back, 1 had, scarcely got across, 
 He reared, and being thorougher bred, 
 And pitched me plump upon my head. 
 
 1 went out one day. t'was really shocking, 
 With a large hole in my stocking, 
 To mend the same, and prevent a shout, 
 he stocking, 1 turned, inside out.

 Mattys Disaster with the Horse. 
 
 "^AsS? 
 
It happened once in drear November, 
 It was the fifth, 1 well remember, 
 Some boys, did every, effort try, 
 To smug, and make of me a guy. 
 
 On a journey bent, it was a shame, 
 1 got up late, and missed the train, 
 But my schoolmate, reached at harrow, 
 Bv riding in a mans wheel-barrow. 
 
 To see Vauxhall one night 1 w T ent, 
 To view the Fireworks was my intent, i 
 But while gazing at the rockets, 
 Some folks behind picked my pockets. 
 
 1 bought a gun, for shooting big, 
 Instead of Pheasant killed a Pig. 
 1 made a Pie, it was no joke, 
 For his Curly tail did me near choke.

 Mattys journey to see his Friends, ^®fcfc 5 
 
One day I bought of Marks a book, 
 
 Set up all night at it to look, 
 
 His Candle set it in a flare, 
 
 The book was burnt likewise my hair. 
 
 To reach some grapes against a wall, 
 Into a Hothouse once did fall, 
 The Lawyer brought me in a Bill 
 Of forty pounds against my will, 
 
 On a winters day I went to skate, 
 But oh how cruel was my fate, 
 l he ice gave way and strange to teil, 
 Into the River plump I fell. 
 
 To Bed I got to prevent mishaps, 
 Was annoyed ail night by Mice and I 
 Many more adventures could resite, 
 But its getting late and so good night.
