On Saturday or on Monday;

And I said, as soon as I saw her face,

"I could not be housed in a better place,

So I'll just stay here till Monday."

Quoth I, "Could you give me a dinner well spread—

An old arm-chair, and a well-aired bed,

And a good short sermon on Sunday?"

Quoth she, "Indeed, sir, that we can,

For I guess, no doubt, you're a gentleman,

As sure as my name is Mundy."
