A friend of mine, much out of health, Was walking one night by himself; And passing near, with a cigar, A station, while a guard was there — Without once knowing, he avow'd That such a thing was not allow'd ; The whisker'd rascal, with a frown, But not a word, quick knocked him down. F 5 106 NAPLES. My ...friend, astounded with the blow, Half rose, and wish'd the cause to know- But with the butt-end of his gun The wretch renew'd what he'd begun ; And but for some kind friend who pass'd, My friend had likely breath'd his last.
