That you'd better have taken a good dinner first,

Nor have pinched your poor stomach by hunger or thirst.

"In perfect indifference the beau yawned a blessing,

And feared before night that your hair would want dressing;

But the ladies, all zeal, sent their wishes in air,

For a man of such spirit is ever their care.

"Attornies were puzzled how now they could sue you,

Underwriters, what premium they'd now take to do you;

While the sallow-faced Jew, of his monies so fond,

Thanked Moses he never had taken your bond."
