“How well I feel!” I shout like one inspired,—

“A little exercise such difference makes!”

They ask me where I stay—’tis not amiss

If I reply, “Within a walk of this!”

And, after all, Dame Nature legs has given

For to support the person, more or less,

And carry us to all the airts of heaven,—

Not to be dangled in mere idleness;

So any gentleman may use this limb,

Nor cause his ancestors to blush for him.
