COBB & CO. AT FORTROSE.

There's a genial sort of cuss Who drives the daily bus From the Waimahaka station To the City by the sea. Has a splendid pair of bays And its true what rumour says That he whistles and he warhles Just as happy as can be. Hi's the soul of wit and humour, And the very height of candour, And I have a sort of notion Why the people call him Mack, For he'll trace the Highland nation Backward to the great creation, It's quite a treat to hear him As lie drives along the track. Now he's held in veneration By the rising generation, Who all rally round ihe station His cheery smile to greet, And when at lcngtli he reaches The City of the Beaches, ^ ou can hear the joyous voices Of tlie children in the street. Now when this cheerful mortal Shall have passed the sacred portal Where the wicked cease from troubling And the weary are at rest, You will hear the glad harps rlnging, And the ha,ppy children singing "Here comes the jolly coachman That on earth we loved the best."
