Who itches, manor-bitten to the bone,
Albeit he knows himself -- yes, yes, he knows --
The lord of more than England and of more

And why the devil should he? I can't tell you.
I'll meet him out alone of a bright Sunday,
Trim, rather spruce, and quite the gentleman.
"What ho, my lord!" say I. He doesn't hear me;
