But no—the whole three years together,
He has not giv'n me flick or feather—
For all that I have had to do
I wish I had been missing too!"
"Well,—such a hand would drive me mad;
But is he truly quite so bad?"
"Bad!—worse!—you cannot underssore him;
If I could put up, just before him,
The great Balloon that paid the visit
Across the water, he would miss it!
