On chair, on floor or on table,
Quæ Genus did not own a fear
That there was any danger near,
So left them till the day should break
And fev'rish nature bid them wake;
When, yawning round the sporting closet,
Some groom brought in their morning posset;
And, hobbling off as they were able
To mount their horses at the stable,
They left the Knight their humble thanks,
