That you could forget me,
And that I'd plead and weep
And throw myself under the hooves of a bay mare...

And my father sold me while yet my tongue
Could scarcely cry 'weep! 'weep! 'weep!'weep!
So your chimneys I sweep, and in soot I sleep.

A fellow-feeling makes one wondrous kind.

I plead for this nation, and all the honest men therein.
