Tapestry curtains and borders of gold,

Give me the ancient and solid mahogany,

Mine be the board that will need no repairs,

Don't let me see, as I sit at my grog, any

Chippendale tables or spindle-legged chairs.

Hang up a vivid vermilion wall-paper,

Covered with roses of gorgeous hue,

Matching a varnished and beautiful hall-paper,

Looking like marble so polished and new.

Carpets should all show a floral variety,
