Slide set: Dame Perkins and her grey mare (recitation: York & Son, 8 slides, in/before 1888)

Descriptive data for this set (listed below slide images)
Slide 1**
The old grey mare was trotted out / And rubbed down with straw
Slide 2**
'Plague take thee, Sal,' Dame Perkins said, / 'If at this stumbling gait'
Slide 3
At length, as from an ugly dream, / She woke with sudden snort
Slide 4**
On came the hounds and huntsmen all, / And shrill the blast they blew
Slide 5**
With one light bound she cleared the leap, / Nor brushed it with her legs
Slide 6**
A famous swimmer was the mare, / How well she plied her legs
Slide 7
It mattered little to the mare, / She hadn't time to wait
Slide 8**
Regardful of my due, a pad / Content am I to claim

Notes

The images of this set closely match those in the Pumphrey set Mrs Giles's run with the hounds (Lucerna 3005498), but those in the Pumphrey set appear to be photographed directly from the original engravings while these were redrawn and slightly simplified. Not all of the original 12 illustrations are reproduced as slides.
