WHAT is that, mother?
A man, my child.
See, there he goes, with gait and aspect mild.

But see what he's got on, my mother dear —
But listen, and that coat you'll plainly hear,
Though he's a block away!

Yet, yet, my boy,
He does not wear that jacket to annoy;
For how could we both know, if it was off,
That he is swell enough to play at golf?
