"If a BARINGO backed it," to take up

Unquestioning the newest stock,—should thus

With sudden flash flare up and set in blaze

The whole commercial world?

Bar. Oh! press me not,

Nor question me too closely! "Argentines!"

That fatal word sums up the evil spell

That in these latter luckless days has fallen

Upon our swaying House.

Shy. I see your case!
