And am in my duty surprisingly steady;

I speak when I'm bid, and if not hold my tongue,

Thus accomplish'd, I'm welcome to old and to young;

Ev'n for their devotion instructions I give,

And can teach the extravagant heir how to live;

But with them to the playhouse when I take a trip,

If not narrowly watch'd I oft give them the slip;

But tho' when well us'd I'm to all very civil,

When slighted I'm sullen and false as the devil.
