Rh  "(Though, certainly, you don't appear
 * A thing to offer food to);

And then I shall be glad to hear (If you will say them loud and clear)
 * The rules that you allude to."

"Thanks! You shall hear them by and by—
 * This is a piece of luck!"

"What may I offer you?" said I. "Well, since you are so kind, I'll try
 * A little bit of duck.

"One slice! And may I ask you for
 * A little drop more gravy?"

I sat and looked at him in awe, For certainly I never saw
 * A thing so white and wavy.
