THE WIDOW AT WINDSOR
171
Take ’old o’ the Wings o’ the Mornin’,
An’ flop round the earth till you’re dead;
But you won’t get away from the tune that they play
To the bloomin’ old rag over’ead.
  (Poor beggars!—it’s ’ot over ’ead!)

    Then ’ere’s to the sons o’ the Widow
     Wherever, ’owever they roam.
    ’Ere’s all they desire, an’ if they require
    A speedy return to their ’ome.
      (Poor beggars!—they’ll never see ’ome!)
