Six thousand a year, in advance, you see,

To enjoy, when you've pulled it thro'.

Or, seizing your pile, by a dextrous coup,

Before they have time, to look down,

From the castles, in the air,

You have built for them there,

You can take a foreign ticket from town.

"And tho' you are lagged, at the ends of the earth,

You'll still find a breach, or a flaw,

Whereby you can slip, thro' the quips, that confuse,
