And, I once gone, they 'll close around you, sir,

When the least pique, pettiest mistrust, is sure

To ruin me—and you along with me!

Do you see that? And you along with me!

—Sir, you 'll not ever listen to these men,

And I away, fighting your battle? Sir,

If they—if She—charge me, no matter how—

Say you, "At any time when he returns

His head is mine!" Don't stop me there! You know

My head is yours, but never stop me there!
