Thro' life, in poverty or wealth,

I'll stick to him like bricks and mortar."

"While I've a tanner in my till,

Or in my purse can sport a bob,

I'll vow eternal friendship still,

And share my stock with honest Snob."

Friendship's a most endearing tie,

Unless it comes your cash to borrow,

Then all its bright attractions die

With "Can't you call again to-morrow?"
