Say your young Lady for a cab sent,
Or swear black's white,—you've ne'er been absent;
Or, of belief to take a fresh hold,
No, "never stirr'd from off the threshold!"
'Howsever,' if it's yet a lie,
You have it still 'as cheap as I.'
In all disputes with cabmen, chairmen,
Act as if 'listed to be their men.
You "can't a-bear it, to be hard on
Poor fellows, that can't spare a farden."
