But no one heeds my plea.

Will you not give me something then,

This year, good Mister G.?

Oh! please give me a Penny!

Please give me a Penny, Sir!

You won't say "no" to me,

Because I'm poor, and feel the pinch

Of dreadful "Schedule D"!

You're so high-dried, and so correct,

So honest and austere!
