MY fortune has been great, I grant.
You have spoiled me like a maiden aunt.
You gave, I own, as much as it was in you,
And all I crave you now is to continue.
Bless, bless my house and bless my books,
Keep all my people in good health, good looks,
And temper, too; let still my credit mount
And keep an eye upon my bank account.
