The water,—

Only look at the drops in the water."

Lady Tott, who, when earnestly fix'd on a drive,

Overcame all excuses Sir Til might contrive,

Had her bonnet and parasol brought her:

Says she, "Dear Sir Til, don't let me ask in vain;

The dots in the pond which you take to be rain,

Are nothing but flies in the water,—

The water,—

Are nothing but flies in the water."
