John travelled out, repeating, ‘Nothing more!
‘D——n me if e’er I met so rude a Bore!’
But by experience knew that to complain
Against such Brutal manners would be vain.
Accustom’d now, he quickly stirr’d about,
First to obtain, then make his Billet out.
This settled to his heart’s content,
That Day and Night he comfortably spent;
Next morning call’d, and so without delay,
To reach the next Depôt he bent his Way.
