I had o' course upo' me—wi' me say—
(Mecum's the Latin, make a note o' that)
When I popp'd pen i' stand, scratch'd ear, wiped snout,
(Let everybody wipe his own himself)
Sniff'd—tch!—at snuff-box; tumbled up, ne-heed,
Haw-haw'd (not hee-haw'd, that's another guess thing),
Then fumbled at, and stumbled out of, door.
I shoved the timber ope wi' my omoplat;
And in vestibulo, i' the lobby to wit
(Iacobi Facciolati's rendering, sir),
