<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">Two beaux and a belle, a goat and a carriage,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">They all set off to the tinker's marriage.<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Two three-cornered hats, and one with a feather,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">They looked very fine in the sweet summer weather.<br/></span>
<span class="i0">But the carriage turned over, the poor goat shied,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">The little belle laughed, the silly beaux cried,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">And the tinker fumed, "Oh, why do they tarry?<br/></span>
<span class="i0">And why don't they come to see me marry?<br/></span>
<span class="i0">I shall throw my bride right into the sea,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">If they are not here by half-past three."<br/></span>
<span class="i0">But the belle was laughing, "Oh, what shall we do!"<br/></span>
<span class="i0">And the beaux were crying, "Bee-bee-bee-boo."<br/></span></div>
