And lowered my position, sirs, instead of rising higher;
My brain is getting weaker, I was once considered clever,
I have voted for Coercion that’s to linger on for ever;
To act like this I must have been as mad as any hatter,
But as I can’t retrace my steps, it really doesn’t matter!
Trev.—It really doesn’t matter!
It really doesn’t matter, matter, matter, matter, matter!
