Of what can I boast?
Health to whom none will toast
A worthless person, worse by the toke
My dispersing purse and erstwhile hope.
I am nursed by the castaways of merchants
My emergence makes them nervous
My clothes are mouldy and need detergent
Living the life of an urchin
Or an army deserter, only worse than both
I cast one last worthless vote then devote myself to the smiling rope.
