Of another like him, we’d have nothing to fear,
All would be prosperous year after year.
He spoke like a man of the warmest sincerity,
Express’d his desire for Dudley’s prosperity,
Declar’d he was willing to do all he could
Towards all things pertaining to public good.
Improvements were wanted all over the town—
The dirty old Town Hall he’d have taken down;
And hop’d he should see, in a very short time,
More refinement in all things, less ignorance and crime.
