Note F — Chapter XIII · HOW THE COACHES WERE NAMED

Reading edition

It is worthy of note that these lines are generally misquoted. But the misquotations are improvements upon the original; as, in fact, the best known misquotations are. The usual version runs, “So down thy vale,” and substitutes “The Derby Dilly, with its three insides” for the original clumsy line, which fails to scan.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
