HE PROPOSES A PLAN OF MUTUAL ACCOMMODATION TO BE HIS CREDITOR, by JAMES CLARENCE MANGAN Poet's Biography First Line: You bother me for coin, and I've got none Last Line: Whose only crime is that he has no tin! | |||
You bother me for coin, and I've got none, And so, you see, my time and yours are lost: Well, then! I'll here propose t'ye, free of cost, A plan, fair both for Debitor and Dun. Attend! - When one has got no money one Can pay no money - that's as plain 's a post. So, you shall cease to dun me, even in fun, And I, de Vautre cote, - like a ghost - Shall wait till you speak first. Thus, 'tis quite clear, Peace will subsist between us, - and what more Dare you desire? It is a horrid sin Eternally to teaze and bait and bore A poor Pilgarlic of a Sonneteer, Whose only crime is that he has no Tin! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SIBERIA by JAMES CLARENCE MANGAN TWENTY GOLDEN YEARS AGO by JAMES CLARENCE MANGAN DUHALLOW by JAMES CLARENCE MANGAN SOUL AND COUNTRY by JAMES CLARENCE MANGAN ST.
