THE SUMMING-UP.

Now, there you go! You still, of course, keep up

your scornful bearing,

And I'm too poor to hinder you; but, by the cloak

I'm wearing,

If I had but _four_ cows myself, even though you were

my spouse,

I'd thwack you well to cure your pride, my Woman

of Three Cows!

_James Clarence Mangan_
