[I simply wait for your Commands, Sir]
I
I simply wait for your Commands, Sir,Is it Peace, or is it War?
Shall we quarrel, or shake Hands, Sir?
Which, good Seignior, are you for?
II
You've nought to do, but speak your Mind, Sir,Only give me then my Cue;
If for scolding you're inclin'd, Sir,
I can scold as well as you.
III
But did you give a single Hint, Sir,That Peace and Quiet you preferr'd,
There'd be no Obligation in't, Sir,
I wou'd not speak another Word.
