There place a note,—away you bound!
And fling it back upon the ground,
Unless the truly sapient ninnies
Shall with it lodge at least two guineas:
Yet still, to make it seem more funny,
Pretend you never found the money.
You drop the note; your Lady'll find it,
Is angry,—deuce a bit you mind it.
Then swear, to make the joke the better,
You never knew you had the letter;
