There’s young Mr. A. comes taking a sketch 
That’s so painfully like me (the hardened young wretch) 
That I shuddered the instant I turned and caught sight of it, 
Whilst the others who looked at it laughed and made light of it ; 
Then that fellow *‘H. L.” comes and perpetrates rhyme 
With a cruelty almost amounting to crime ; 
He really deserves to be sent to a jail 
For extracting a moral from out of my tale / 
When he might have been proving himself better bred 
If from this horrid ring he’d extracted my head. 
So, grant me a boon, and by promptness enhance it ; 
Instead of attempting my cure with the lancet, 
And fomenting my wounds, take the back of a knife, 
Crack the bone and release me—I’ll thank you for life.
