“Yes, we can, we shall, we will.
Who’s to make us smile and play?
No—we must be wretched still.
Sulky are we?—So you say.
No, we will not, no, we shall not,
No, we will not laugh or play.
“Do we mope and do we scowl?
What a lot you seem to know.
P’r’aps you’d like to hear us howl;
Pray, if you don’t like it—go.
