Diddle diddle, diddle diddle, diddle diddle, dum. There is no problem in playing before good judges, but there's a man there - the grave man in black - 'Sdeath! not the gentleman with the sword on. Sir, I had rather play a Caprichio to Calliope, than draw my bow across my fiddle before that man; and yet I'll wager the greatest musical odds ever laid, that I will this moment go three hundred leagues out of tune upon my fiddle, without punishing one single nerve of his.-
Twaddle diddle, tweddle diddle, - twiddle diddle, - twoddle diddle, - twuddle diddle, - prut trut - krish - krash - krush. I've undone you, Sir, but you see he's no worse.
