Kind Relations.

We all have our share of the ups and the downs,

Whatever our rank or station;

And he’s sure to get the most scoffs and frowns,

Who depends on his kind relations;

For it’s all very well once or twice to drop in,

To ask for a trifling favor,

But on the third time they are sure to begin,

To construe it to bad behaviour.

There’s your relations! kind relations!
