Eliza with the Sergeant drinking beer!

“Eliza false!” the hopeless Jenkins cried,

Upturn’d his eyes, and clasp’d his hands, and sigh’d.

“Have you, then, for a Sergeant, false one, scorn’d

The ‘private’ station I so well adorn’d?

I’ll be revenged.” The false Eliza smiles,—

“There’s not an area to be seen for miles.”

Hopeless, despairing, Jenkins dropp’d one tear;

And then upsprung, and wildly call’d for beer.
