    The rich man's sons inherits cares;
    The bank may break, the factory burn,
    A breath may burst his bubble shares,
    And soft, white hands could hardly earn
    A living that would serve his turn.

No, he was no such charlatan--
Count de Hoboken Flash-in-the-Pan--
Full of gasconade and bravado,
But a regular, rich Don Rataplane,
Santa Claus de la Muscavado,
Senor Grandissimo Bastinado!
His was the rental of half Havana
And all Matanzas; and Santa Ana,
Rich as he was, could hardly hold
A candle to light the mines of gold
Our Cuban owned.
