TO A TELL-TALE.
When I told you my secrets, you know 'twas your boastThey would all be “between you and me and the post;”
But since I can trust to your faith, and my own,
How is it, good sir, that my secrets are known?
“Between you and me and the post” it must be,
And I have my suspicions of one of the three;
The post spread the rumour, and such its extent,
I believe 'twas the two-penny post that you meant.
