At once, an' holus bolus ! Remimber, Corney Keegan's purse, An' think of the Dublin Polis I WAS walking about, in a casual way, Thro' the ferns, in Richmond Park, 'Twas just at the fringe of the twilight hour, On the skirt, of the time called dark, And the wind was rough, and I couldn't succeed, To kindle my three- penny smoke, When a gentleman stepped from behind a tree, And coughed, and hemmed, and spoke : THE DEVIL IN RICHMOND PARK 59 " You'll pardon me, Sir, you're in want of a light, " Sai...d he, with a bow to me, And straight producing a braided star, He struck it against his knee, And with an expression of much concern, To see that my weed was right, He manipulated the light himself, With a courtesy most polite.
I am one, who is quickly impressed, and won, By measure of courteous act, So deeming it right, to appreciate, In response of appropriate tact, I spake to him thus, " It's rare that a man In a gentleman's dress like thine, Doth care to assist, the frivolous wants, Of a miniature vice like mine, So reckon it not, as a rudeness wrought, Of an ignorant wish to know, But I'd certainly like to learn the name, Of the gent, who has touched me so !
