[[foreign: French]] Mon 1r. est ce que sur le doigt vous mettez Mon 2d est un art que vous possedez Mais s'il vous faut parler sans mystère Mon tout [[underline]] vous ne sauriez [[/underline]] le faire. [[/foreign]] To titles I'm born & with pride too I sing That some of my race do descend from a King Yet hapless condition as soon as I'm born My parents reject me, & fly me with scorn. Tho' honors I have, Bedford's Duke has not more Too often I'm forc'd to sleep out at the door From some freinds I find it quite hard to depart To keep me with others, exceeds ev'ry art; In short I've such a strange oddness about me No Mortals [[underline]] would wish to live with [[/underline]] or without me.
