An’ only eats an’ drinks what suits

Hersel’ and her annuity.

The Bible says the age o’ man

Threescore and ten, perchance, may be;

She’s ninety-four. Let them who can,

Explain the incongruity.

She should hae lived afore the flood;

She’s come o’ patriarchal blood;

She’s some auld Pagan mummified,

Alive for her annuity.
