Did he gain the shore, poor fella, * With a minimum of raiment ? i" ; Time will show us—nothing more. ti l Is he rogue, or real Sir Roger ? i Baronet, or artful dodger ? , Has his fickle memory faded [. In the mistiness of yore ? Or do H's sometimes dropping, 1 Prove him born on banks of Wappiug, Where the long lost Orton traded ? , Time will show us—nothing more.
