“A man who would woo a fair maid,
should ‘prentice himself to the trade;
and study all day,
in methodical way,
how to flatter, cajole, and persuade.
 He should ‘prentice himself at fourteen,
and practice from morning to e’en;
and when he’s of age,
if he will, I’ll engage,
he may capture the heart of a queen!”

“The screw may twist and the rack may turn,
and men may bleed and men may burn,
o’er London town and its golden hoard
I keep my silent watch and ward!”
