    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.
