I remarked that he was chaffing, and demanded of the bore,

Ask'd what this disgusting, nasty, greedy, vile, intrusive bore

Meant in croaking "Never more?"

But the Vulture not replying, took my bunch of keys, and trying

Sev'ral, found at length the one to fit my private cupboard door;

Took the gin out, fill'd the kettle; and, with a sang froid to nettle

Any saint, began to settle calmly down the grate before,

Really as he meant departing at the date I named before,

Of never, never more!
