Though skilled in Latin and in Greek	A
And earning fifty cents a week	A
Such knowledge and the income too	B
Should teach you better what to do	B
The meanest drudges kept in pay	C
Can pocket fifty cents a day	C
	-
Why stay in such a tasteless land	D
Where all must on a level stand	D
Excepting people at their ease	E
Who choose the level where they please	E
See Irving gone to Britain's court	F
To people of another sort	F
He will return with wealth and fame	G
While Yankees hardly know your name	G
	-
Lo he has kissed a Monarch's hand	D
Before a prince I see him stand	D
And with the glittering nobles mix	H
Forgetting times of seventy six	H
While you with terror meet the frown	I
Of Bank Directors of the town	I
The home made nobles of our times	J
Who hate the bard and spurn his rhymes	J
	-
Why pause like Irving haste away	C
To England your addresses pay	C
And England will reward you well	K
Of British feats and British arms	L
The maids of honor and their charms	L
	-
Dear bard I pray you take the hint	M
In England what you write and print	M
Republished here in shop or stall	N
Will perfectly enchant us all	N
It will assume a different face	O
And post your name at every place	O
From splendid domes of first degree	P
Where ladies meet to sip their tea	P
From marble halls where lawyers plead	Q
Or Congress men talk loud indeed	Q
To huts where evening clubs appear	R
And 'squires resort to guzzle Beer	R
