   I looked around and took my time, as things looked very blest.
   The scene appealed to the poetic mind, on every face a smile.
   While the drop of the coin, chimed a riming tune.

   I looked around' 'twas all in vain, a familiar face to see.

   The bookie challenge taken up, the sterling freely flowed.
