William Schwenck Gilbert - One Against the WorldWilliam Schwenck Gilbert - One Against the World
Work rating: Low


It`s my opinion - though I own In thinking so I`m quite alone - In some respects I`m but a fright. YOU like my features, I suppose? I`M disappointed with my nose: Some rave about it - perhaps they`re right. My figure just sets off a fit; But when they say it`s exquisite (And they DO say so), that`s too strong. I hope I`m not what people call Opinionated!  After all, I`m but a goose, and may be wrong! When charms enthral There`s some excuse For measures strong; And after all I`m but a goose, And may be wrong! My teeth are very neat, no doubt; But after all they MAY fall out: I think they will - some think they won`t. My hands are small, as you may see, But not as small as they might be, At least, I think so - others don`t. But there, a girl may preach and prate From morning six to evening eight, And never stop to dine, When all the world, although misled, Is quite agreed on any head - And it is quite agreed on mine! All said and done, It`s little I Against a throng. I`m only one, And possibly I may be wrong!
