‘John Gilpin, The Diverting History of’, a poem by
Cowper, first published anonymously in
The Public Advertiser, reprinted in chapbook form, and included in the same volume as
The Task (1785).
John Gilpin, a ‘linen-draper bold’ of Cheapside, and his wife decide to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary by a trip to the Bell at Edmonton, he on a borrowed horse, she, her sister, and the children in a chaise and pair. But John loses control of his horse, and the poem describes his headlong career to Edmonton, ten miles beyond it to Ware, and then back again.
