If Cook will swear she's only thirty-three,
And rather fancies she was born at sea
(Where I am now) my "knowledge and belief"
Are not worth much to the official chief,
BRIDGES P. HENNIKER, if he only knew it.
A True Return? Well, if it is not true, it
Is not my fault. Inquisitorial band,
I've done my level best—Witness my Hand!
The bothering business makes me feel quite bilious,
Peace now—for ten years more!
