At last I see I'm forced to go astray, And I must consent to let you have your way, And that I cannot hope that short of the deed You will be content and willing to concede. It is very hard to be forced to do it, And in spite of myself to stoop down to it; But since you persist in making me obey, Since you refuse to believe what I say, And since you demand more convincing proof, I'll have to give in and quit acting aloof. If this action causes anyone grief, The blame be on him who refused all relief. The fault most certainly is none of mine.
