Let us beware o' the basset-table—lest
We jog the elbow of Her Eminence,
Jostle his cards,—he 'll rap you out a ... st!
By the window-seat! And here 's the Marquis too!
Indulge me but a moment: if I fail
—Favored with such an audience, understand!—
To set things right, why, class me with the mob
As understander of the mind of man!
The mob,—now, that 's just how the error comes!
Bethink you that you have to deal with plebs,
