But I never touched nothin'
That my spirit could kill.”

“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,
An' one is a girl at 'ome.”

Context: I read a lot of things about myself that aren't true … I've read that I've been with people I've never met.
