Air.—‘He was famed for deeds of arms
’Rise at six—dine at two—
Rob your man without ado-
Such my maxims—if you doubt
Their wisdom, to the rightabout!’
(Signing to a sallow gentleman on the same side of the table to
send up the brandy bowl.)
‘Pass round the bingo,—of a gun,
You musty, dusty, husky son!’
(The sallow gentleman in a hoarse voice,)

I can’t resign it yet, d’ye see!’
(Attie, seizing the bowl,)
‘Resign, resign it—cease your dust!’
(Wresting it away, and fiercely regarding the sallow gentleman.)
‘You have resigned it—and you must.’
