Tzar. Quite sho! (Aside.) I'll watch a chance to hint my wishes.

President. We've had a jolly time, and now, ole f'ler,

Ash "coping-shtone" to all this talk and toddy,

As shequel to thish patr'otic stir,

I'm going to amneshty—yesh, everybody!

Wha' shay, dear Romanoff, will you do same?

Jush show, y' know, that thersh no animoshity!
