A lusty Cowen I would be.

Yet were I Cowen, where, oh, where

Would be my Julia, plump and fair?

And where would be those children four

Which now I smilingly adore?

The thought induces such a shock,

I'd not be Cowen—I'd be Dock!

But were I Dock, with stores of gold,

How would I pine at being old—

How grieve to see in Cowen's eyes
