At first all neighbors gave him visits,

But since he used at the back porch

To keep a steed and quickly use it

Just hearing an approaching coach,

It did not make the neighbors glad,

Some of them really got mad,

And they all stopped attempts to deal

And even keep in touch with him.

“He’s ignoramus, behaves wildly;

He is freemason, that is why

Drinks from a tumbler just red wine;

Doesn’t kiss dames’ hands, doesn’t bow politely,

Dose not say yes, ma’am, or no, sir,

But always simply yes or no”.
