    One dear old tongue to teach to speak,
    So dear worth fifty bob a week.
    I'll have a noble heritage
    and welcome paid wretch in state employ
    A panel pauper live and die.

    When I'am a man
    I'll be a teacher, If I can
    To sweat and slog and be the butt.
    Of every spouter crank and mutt.
    Restore our ancient might have been
    With cuts and kicks to keep me keen
    I'll scavenge, sweep, nurse, cook as well.
    An round slave. I will like H.
