Lonely yet public stands, for Sunday-trade;

Thither, for this day free, gay parties go,

Their tea-house walk, their tippling rendezvous;

There humble couples sit in corner-bowers,

Or gaily ramble for th' allotted hours;

Sailors and lasses from the town attend,

160

The servant-lover, the apprentice-friend;

With all the idle social tribes who seek

And find their humble pleasures once a week.
