And, smoking a fearful "regalia,"

I sought thine iniquitous den.

My walk, though a little unsteady,

Was dignity tempered with grace;

I playfully asked for the "ready,"

And smiled in thy villainous face.

I brought thee my best Sunday beaver,

And gorgeous habiliments new;

My watch—such a fine English lever!—

I left, unbeliever, with you.
