English poem
Madam if you please
by Christopher Smart (1722–1771)
Madam if you please To hear such things as these. Madam, I have a rival sad, And if you don’t take my part it will made me mad. He says he well send his son; But if he does I will get me a gun. Madam if you please to pity, O poor Kitty, O poor Kitty! c. 1726
