VII

I’ve studied men from my topsy-turvy

Close, and, I reckon, rather true.

Some are fine fellows: some, right scurvy:

Most, a dash between the two.

But it’s a woman, old girl, that makes me

Think more kindly of the race:

And it’s a woman, old girl, that shakes me

When the Great Juggler I must face.
