I've quitted the comforts of town

In order to keep open house for the lot

In a chamber provided by Brown.

They shall come to my bedroom; I'll give them good cheer;

I'll ring for a handmaid and tell her

To serve us at once with a dinner up here,

Including the pick of the cellar.

And then in due course round the gas glowing red

Brown's choicest cigars shall be lit,

And, if we like resting our feet on the bed,
