Rh  "By day, if he should be alone—
 * At home or on a walk—

You merely give a hollow groan, To indicate the kind of tone
 * In which you mean to talk.

"But if you find him with his friends,
 * The thing is rather harder:

In such a case success depends On picking up some candle-ends,
 * Or butter, in the larder.

"With this you make a kind of slide
 * (It answers best with suet),

On which you must contrive to glide, And swing yourself from side to side—
 * One soon learns how to do it.
