When the Gloryvillins squandered each one took his nest along.

All except one ancient darkey, obstinate and blind and lame,

Who for want of wheels and credit could not follow up the game;

So the others had to leave him, which they did without regret,

Left him there without a copper—just one million deep in debt.

If you seek them you may find them comfortable as in a rug,

All of them at length established in the town of Splendourbug;

And the driver to the traveller as by Gloryville he goes,

Points him out, an ancient darkey who a million dollars owes.

IN THE WRONG BOX
