(_AFTER A FAMOUS ORIGINAL._)
'Tis a very good land that we live in
To lend, or to lose, or to give in;
But to _sell_--at a profit--or keep a man's own,
'Tis the very worst country that ever was known.
Men give cash for their wines, wives, weeds, churches and cooks,
But your genuine Briton _won't_ pay for his--Books!
