HUMPHREY DUNN.
Ist mir ganz eins—
Ob ich Geld hab, oder Keins.
I
If he have money, or if he have none,
'Tis all the same to Humphrey Dunn.
II
If he have money, his heart is glad;
If none, 'tis cowardly to be sad.
III
If he have money, his wife goes fine;
If none, her eyes never cease to shine.
IV
If he have money, he drinks good beer;
If none, he relishes water clear.
V
If he have money, his feasts are spread;
If none, he can dine on a crust of bread.
VI
If he have money, he goes to the play;
If none, he laughs and stops away.
VII
If he have money, 'tis Paris and Rome;
If none, he walks in the streets at home.
VIII
If he have money, his creditors smile;
If none, they frown and wait awhile.
IX
If he have money, his jewels glow;
If he have none, the daisies grow.
X
For whether he've money, or whether he've none,
'Tis all the same to Humphrey Dunn!
