But still we all feel, though I don't want to boast,

Like Park-hacks in paddock, or "tits" untied—"tits" untied.

They mock my wide smile, and my scantness of thatch;

I think, though, in managing skill I am—skill I am,

All things considered, much more than a match

For swaggering, swashing Sir William—Will-i-am!

Lawks! this is lovely! But, Smithy my lad,

In the midst of Arcadian beauty—an beauty,

You mustn't forget (the reflection is sad)

What is due to your Country and Duty—and Duty.
