“You’ll never go to heaven.”
But all in vain; each time I try,
That little idiot makes reply,
“I ain’t had more nor seven.”
Postscript.
To borrow Wordsworth’s name was wrong,
Or slightly misapplied;
And so I’d better call my song,
“Lines after Ache-inside.”
From Carols of Cockayne, by Henry. S. Leigh. London: Chatto & Windus, 1874.
