A pretty conscience his ; To ruin thus my finest bay, And hurry off, like smoke, to-day, If there s no law, some other way, By Jove, he ll smart for this !" Ah ! fly, unhappy, while you can ! The Captain is a dangerous man, A right old Jockey s son ! Ah ! fly, unhappy, while you may ! The Captain first knocks up the Bay, And then knocks down the Dun ! Old Larry is as brave a soul As ever drained an English bowl ; His head and heart alike are tried ; And when two comrades have applied Or hand to... sword, or lip to pewter, Old Larry never yet was neuter. But now the Hero (like a fool Ripe from a milksop boarding-school, In love or fortune crost, ) Silent, and pale, and stupid, stands, Scratches his head with both his hands, And fears the hostile Host. Oh ! can it be ? are hearts of stone So small, and soft, and silky grown, That Larry fears a lick? Oh ! wrong not thus his closing years, 100 CHANGING QUARTERS. Tis not the Host of France he fears, But of the Candlestick. The Brute is there !
