Suppose you ply your trade on me;
Come, monkey with this bard, and see
How I’ll repay your bark with bite!
Ay, snarl just once at me, you brute!
And I shall hound you far and wide,
As fiercely as through drifted snow
The shepherd dog pursues what foe
Skulks on the Spartan mountain-side.
The chip is on my shoulder–see?
But touch it and I’ll raise your fur;
I’m full of business, so beware!
For, though I’m loaded up for bear,
I’m quite as like to kill a cur!
