When an old Raven, ’mongst the crowd,

Stopp’d short his insolent career—

“Why, what a monstrous bustle’s here!

You travell’d, sir! I speak to you,

Who’ve passed so many countries thro’;

Say, to what purpose is’t you roam,

And what improvements bring you home?

Has Italy, on which you doat,

Supply’d you with another note?

Or France, which you extol so high,
