—You ought to consume your own smoke, sir!"

XXVI

Ah, rogues, but my housemaid suspects you—

Is confident oft she detects you

In bringing more filth into my house

Than ever you found there! I 'm pious,

However: 't was God made you dingy

And me—with no need to be stingy

Of soap, when 't is sixpence the packet.

So, dance away, boys, dust my jacket,
