GILES—"Well, that don't do me no good. I ain't Hodge."


Good luck is the gayest of all gay girls;

Long in one place she will not stay:

Back from your brow she strokes the curls,

Kisses you quick and flies away.

But Madame Bad Luck soberly comes

And stays—no fancy has she for flitting;

Snatches of true-love songs she hums,

And sits by your bed, and brings her knitting.
