Notes |
Text: You man-killing poisoning creature, / Here is pictured each ugly feature / Of your impudent conceited face, / Which
a monkey even would disgrace, / Your Jallap or Rhubarb won't suit me, / And as I don't like Senna Tea, / I, really, Sir, must
quite decline, / To have you for my Valentine.
