[More calmly.]
What were you meaning?—Just attend
I’m getting older year by year;
Sooner or later comes the end;
Then you’ll inherit all I’ve treasured,
’Tis duly counted, weighed and measured—
Nay, nay, I’ve nothing on me now!—
It’s all at home. It is but scant;
But he that gets it will not want.
Stand back there! Don’t come near!—I vow
