Explore "The Ladies" by Rudyard Kipling on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I've taken my fun where I've found it; / I've rogued an' I've ranged in my time; / I've 'ad my pickin' o' sweet'earts, / An' four o' the lot was prime. / One was an 'arf-caste widow, / One was a woman at Prome, / One was the wife of a _jemadar-sais_, [Head-groom.] / An' one is a girl at 'ome.
Now I aren't no 'and with the ladies, / For, takin' 'em all along, / You never can say till you've tried 'em, / An' then you are like to be wrong. / There's times when you'll think that you mightn't, / There's times when you'll know that you might; / But the things you will learn from the Yellow an' Brown, / They'll 'elp you a lot with the White!
