Being for the Benifit of Mr. Kite in Hominis Font

For the benefit of Mr. Kite,
 
There will be a show tonight on trampoline.
 
The Hendersons will all be there,
 
Late of Pablo Fanques'fair. What a scene!
 
Over men and horses, hoops and garters
 
And lastly through a hogshead of real fire!
 
In this way Mr. K will challenge the world!
 
Mr. Kite

Mr. and Mrs. Henderson

The celebrated Mr. K.
 
Performs his feats on Saturday at Bishopsgate.
 
The Hendersons will dance and sing
 
As Mr. Kite flies through the ring. Don't be late!
 
Messers K. and H. assure the public
 
Their production will be second to none.
 
And of course Henry the Horse dances the waltz!
The band begins at ten to six
 
When Mr. K performs his tricks without a sound.
 
And Mr. H will demonstrate
 
Ten somersets he'll undertake on solid ground!
 
Having been some days in preparation
 
A splendid time is guaranteed for all!
 
And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill!
Why does that darn Horse get top billing?
