—As you perceive, I'm not a chick,

And know enough to make one sick:

Nay, somewhat my experience lends,

To guess at this world's odds and ends.

I've been in many curious places;

I've serv'd my Lords,—and serv'd their Graces;

And, which gives work of more ado,

I've even serv'd my Ladies too:

I knew to shut or ope my eyes,

To see strange things, nor look surprise.
