By your dividends? Ah! you draw them, girls and boys,
And spend 'em, the Times says, in sweets and in toys;
Which nobody can deny!
"How very much better to let 'em remain;
Re-invest 'em, in fact! An original brain
Has hit on that capital notion, at length,
And I'm game for to back him with all my old strength,
Which nobody can deny!
"Leave your dividends in my—suppose we say hose—
And the cash, snowball-like, gathers fast as it goes.
