An now ye have come, ye rascal! so healthy an fat an sound,A-weighin, Ill wager a dollar, the fall of a dozen pound!With yer mothers eyes a flashin, yer fathers flesh an build,An a good big mouth an stomach all ready for to be filled! No, no! dont cry, my baby! hush up, my pretty one!Dont get my chaff in yer eye, boy—I only was just in like us when ye know us, although were curus folks;But we dont get much victual, an half our livin is jokes! Why, boy, did ye take me in earnest? come, sit upon my knee;Ill tell ye a secret, youngster, Ill name ye after shall have all yer brothers an sisters with ye to play,An ye shall have yer carriage, an ride out every day!
