“I just propose that first of all I land—
As all of us have done—at the old Havanna.
Adventures there do gin’rally abound,
The natives being all sus-ceptive creeters;
For if romance upon this airth is found,
It sartinly is ’mong the senoritas.
Though he who of ’em would advantage take,
Must be on hand and al’ays wide awake:
Quien el diablo ha de engañar
Mañana ha bien de levantar.”
