Taking, for pastime and for exercise.

I am not taken for a vagabond,

Nor do the folk call me a lackpenny;

I pass for one who roves the world around,

And goes afoot the better for to see.

As Crœsus, it is true, I am not prized,

But as a gentleman am recognised.

For my part, I do everything I may

To merit this respect, with all my might—

With step most leisurely I take my way.
