The Twelve New Wonders

I saw Port Jackson, northward of the line,
I saw some countries made of sherry wine,
I saw a cobbler, dining with the Queen,
I saw a Bishop, in a bonnet green;
I saw a lady stop the Bathurst Mail,
I saw Ben Hall and Gilbert lodged in gaol,
I saw some paupers, rosy, fat, and strong,
I saw an infant, quiet very long,
I saw a dummy, warm in a debate,
I saw a landlady, content to wait,
I saw a cabman's horse that bit it nails,
I saw a bashful man in New South Wales.
