Oh! give me something of my own,
In which Man has no part;
Which I may hoard, or spend, or loan,
And it shall ease my heart.
And if you ask me whence 'twill come,
And what will be my plan,
I answer that that private sum
Should come—of course—from Man!
I'll grab it quick, I'll hold it tight,
That welcome L. S. D.,
