To see in dress beyond our station clad, 760
And to behold among our neighbours fine,
More than perhaps became a wife of mine:
And now among her neighbours to explore,
And see her poorest of the very poor!—
I would describe it, but I bore a part,
Nor can explain the feelings of the heart;
Yet memory since has aided me to trace
The horrid features of that dismal place.
There she reclined unmoved, her bosom bare
