At present when we our liquor pass.

(Although I recall—

’Tis three years this Fall—

When travelling in the wilderness,

And things were all in an awful mess,

And our crockery, with a horrible crash,

Had gone its way to eternal smash)

(It came, as the driver allowed, from racin’),

We drank champagne from a tin wash-basin.

Excuse the digression—non est crimen—
