Then something decidedly like a spill,
And the parson was sitting up on a rock,
At half-past nine by the meetn-house clock,
Just the hour of the Earthquake shock!

When he got up and stared around?
The poor old chaise in a heap or mound,
As if it had been to the mill and ground!”

“The right road lies under your tonguejust ask.”
