“I hev trevelled o’er this cont’nent from Quebec to Bogotáw,

But setch a set of scallawags as these I never saw.

“Ye are wealthy, ye are gifted, ye have house and lands and rent,

Yet unto a suff’rin’ mortal ye will not donate a cent;

Ye expend your missionaries to the heathen and the Jew,

But there isn’t any heathen that is half as small as you.

“Ye are lucky—ye hev cheque-books and deeposits in the bank,

And ye squanderate your money on the titled folks of rank;

The onyx and the sardonyx upon your garments shine,

An’ ye drink at every dinner p’r’aps a dollar’s wuth of wine.
