The Mayor was dumb, and the Council stood
As if they were changed into blocks of wood,
Unable to move a step, or cry210
To the children merrily skipping by,
-Could only follow with the eye
That joyous crowd at the Piper's back.
But how the Mayor was on the rack,
And the wretched Council's bosoms beat,215
As the Piper turned
