On a Tradesman.
A
gentlemanly
tradesman this;
To deal with such a man is bliss.
Him as a gentleman you treat
Of course,—you have no other mind;
But he reserves in full, you'll find
The tradesman's privilege to cheat;
Then scold, reprove him if you can,—
He's such a gentlemanly man!
To deal with such a man is bliss.
Him as a gentleman you treat
Of course,—you have no other mind;
But he reserves in full, you'll find
The tradesman's privilege to cheat;
Then scold, reprove him if you can,—
He's such a gentlemanly man!
Methinks a better time we had
With commonplace obsequious cad.
With commonplace obsequious cad.
