All sects and parties in their mansion meet;

There from their chapels teachers go to share 720

The creature-comforts—mockery grins not there;

There meet the wardens at their annual feast,

With annual pun—‘the parish must be fleeced’;

There traders find a parlour cleanly swept

For their reception, and in order kept;

And there the sons of labour, poor, but free,

Sit and enjoy their hour of liberty.

So live the pair—and life’s disasters seem
