They're booked right through to everywhere!

To lead a life of hopeless worry,

With Bradshaw, Baedeker, and Murray.

And yet they hail with eagerness

The Continental Mail Express!

I think of toil by rail and boat,

And cackle at the table d'hôte;

Of coin of somewhat doubtful mintage,

And wine of very gruesome vintage;

Of passes steep that try the lungs,
