"Then be it so," the Knight replied,

"I trust I may be satisfied.

I'm told there's something droll about you,

But droll'ry will not make me scout you;

Nor do I mind, my friend, the pack,

Which you now wear upon your back:

We're rather equal on that score—

Your's is behind, and mine's before;

Nay, when of both I take a view,

Mine is the larger of the two."
