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;
