A little bread -- a crust -- a crumb
|
A little bread -- a crust -- a crumb -- A little trust -- a demijohn -- Can keep the soul alive -- Not portly, mind! but breathing -- warm -- Conscious -- as old Napoleon, The night before the Crown! A modest lot -- A fame petite -- A brief Campaign of sting and sweet Is plenty! Is enough! A Sailor's business is the shore! A Soldier's -- balls! Who asketh more, Must seek the neighboring life! |
