And watched me all the days that I was young;
You, at whose step the laziest slaves awake,
And both the bailiff and the butler quake;
The barber’s suds now blacken with my beard,
And my rough kisses make the maids afeared;
But with reproach your awful eyebrows1 twitch2,
And for the cane4, I see, your fingers itch3.
If something daintily attired5 I go,
Straight you exclaim: “Your father did not so.”
And fuming6, count the bottles on the board
As though my cellar were your private hoard7.
Enough, at last: I have done all I can,
And your own mistress hails me for a man.
