TO SMALL CLIVE.
I suppose that you'll cost me the deuce of a lot, I suppose I must pay and look pleasant, Though you're only a small insignificant dot— My three-year-old warrior—at present.
But if ever you need the paternal 'tip,' If ever you sin and must suffer, Be brave and go straight, or I'll 'give you gyp'— If I don't you may call me 'a duffer.'
