These he preserves, with unremitted care,
To buy a seat, and reign the Borough's mayor:
Alas!—who could th' ambitious changeling tell,
That what he sought our rulers dared to sell?
Near these a sailor in that hut of thatch
(A fish-boat's cabin is its nearest match)
Dwells, and the dungeon is to him a seat,
Large as he wishes—in his view complete.
