At Doncaster in 1848, the truth I do unfold, He carried off the champion stakes, likewise the two year old; And then in 1849 he went to Epsom town, And won the Derby stake 6,320_l_. To the Flying Dutchman, &c. Then in July, at Liverpool, no horse would with him run, He walked over twice and there 850_l_. he won; From there he went to Doncaster, and through the pelting rain, With Charley Marlow on his back the Ledger did obtain. To the Flying Dutchman, &c. The foal stakes then at Doncaster, which was 400_l_. more, No horse would run against him so the Dutchman he walked o'er; Then at Newmarket he was match'd, but the Dutchman, I believe, A forfeit of 500_l_. from Honeycomb received. To the Flying Dutchman, &c. Then for the Belivor stake the famous Flying Dutchman ran, He took the prize; then at Ascot Heath the Emperor's cup he won; And at Goodwood too he won the prize, then to Doncaster came up, He there was beat by Voltigeur running for the cup. To the Flying Dutchman, &c. Upon the thirteenth day of May in 1851, The Flying Dutchman and Voltigeur upon York[251] race course did run, 'Twas for a thousand sovereigns, believe me what I say, Which the Flying Dutchman has won and borne the prize away. To the Flying Dutchman, &c. No other horse was ever known to do what he has done, For more than twenty thousand pounds in prizes he has won; With Marlow mounted on his back, believe me what I say, He never run a race but one, but he took the prize away. To the Flying Dutchman, &c. So to conclude and make an end, and finish up my song, Unto the brave lord Eglinton, Flying Dutchman does belong, So fill your glass and let it pass, and give a loud huzza, For the Flying Dutchman stands unrivalled at the present day. To the Flying Dutchman, &c. FOOTNOTES: [Footnote 250: From a broadside _penes me_, printed and sold by Jas.

The former horse won by about a length.] THE YORKSHIREMAN IN LONDON.[252] When first in London I arriv'd On a visit, on a visit; When first in London I arriv'd 'Midst heavy rain and thunder, I 'spied a bonny lass in green, The bonniest lass I'd ever seen, I'd oft heard tell of a beauteous queen, Dash me, thinks I, I've found her.
