Of keen reproach, demanded, her payment in advance!
I had already promised myself, that none should boast,
Of knowing me in future, as tenant of a ghost,
So got my cash, pretending to settle there, and then,
And just as she was lifting my eagle pointed pen,
Said I "Perhaps you'll give me receipt for also this?"
With that I would have tested her presence with a kiss!
I think my arm went thro' her, of that I can't be sure,
But with the table circuit, she took the bedroom door,
I took it quite as quick, and abreviated sight,
