Said I, &c.
My plan is successful, my manner attracts,
No matter the play, if ’tis Irving that acts,
And places are booked two months off. These are facts
Said I, &c.
I’ll swagger and stagger, I’ll roar and I’ll rant,
Said I, &c.,
I’ll suddenly cease, roll my eyes, gasp and pant,
Said I, &c.
In mounting most costly I’ll not be outdone,
