Why, we've got two baby children, it is really only fair
That Miss Harker should look after them, and wash and dress the pair.
"And, Miss Harker, it will save us such a lot of trouble too,
If, when our servants leave us, they can leave their work to you.
So you'll please to cook our dinner, let your motto be Ich Dien,
(No, no, you needn't thank us) and you'll keep our dishes clean.
"And, of course, you'll do it daily—what was that you dared to say?
You would like to rest a week or so, and want a holiday?
Who ever heard such nonsense? Well, there's one thing we can show,
Not politeness, but the door to you—Miss H. you'd better go."
