“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.
