I came to thee, oh, my relation,

For succour, for mine was all spent.

Thine int'rest in me was affecting—

I noticed a tear in thine eye,

Without for a moment suspecting

How int'rest would tell by and bye.

It's true I'd been doing the heavy,

And going a trifle too fast;

I've been a most dutiful 'nevvy,'—

But, uncle, I know thee at last;
