English

The stanzas are from a parody of Robert Southey's poem "The Old Man's Comforts and How He Gained Them", in Alice from Lewis Carroll. First published in 1799, it has been parodied but mostly forgotten and only the parody remembered.

Carroll's parody gives Father William an eccentric and great vitality misunderstood by his questioner.

The line, “allow me to sell you a couple?” suggest that father william thinks "he is more fit than the young man" (letter C), since he can't understand why Father William is much better and still on form in many things he was not supposed to be because of his age and fat body.

feel at home ! Come again they Jay, and when I come again and feel at home once twice there will be no three for then I find doo
Andrej [43]

Answer:

In the ancient and modern worlds, the poet (who is also the speaker) communicates to his kid about human behavior in the past and today. In "feel at home" his meaning to this:  once, twice,  there will be no thrice  for then I find doors shut on me. He recalls a period when people shared true affection. They would laugh heartily and convey genuine emotions to one another. However, in today's fast-paced society, people regularly exchange frigid handshakes. They exchange greetings with a smile or laughter that reaches their eyes but does not reach their hearts. They are simply being courteous when they say 'come again' to a guest. According to the poet, people nowadays are frequently more interested in meeting those who are affluent, powerful, successful, or renowned than in meeting those who lack income or position.
