ON KING WILLIAM III by ANONYMOUS

First Line: AS I WALK'D BY MY SELF
Last Line: THE SELF-SAME THING WILL BE
Subject(s): "WILLIAM III, KING OF ENGLAND (1650-1702);"
As I walk'd by myself,
And talk'd to myself,
Myself said unto me,
"Look to thyself,
Take care of thyself,
For nobody cares for thee.'
I answer'd myself,
And said to myself
In the self-same repartee,
"Look to thyself
Or not look to thyself,
The self-same thing will be.'
