Your pride is yet no mate for mine,

My blood is bluer than your own.

Don't bid me break your heart again

For pastime, ere to town I go;

I'll not do that, my noble Lord,

But give you something that I owe.

Baron Alfred T. de T.,

When you were in that angry fit

You turned to me and thundered out,

"Go, teach the orphan girl to knit."
