Alas! I own it has me there,

And long to get away—

Alas! I own it has me there.

And long, and long to get away.

’Tis sad to think how Randies clown,

And Wolffs and Wartons jeer;

I gulp this horrid cough-drop down,

And sigh when none can hear—

I gulp this horrid cough-drop down,

And sigh, and sigh when none can hear.
