Disgusts my taste and poisons every sense:

Daily shall I your sad relations hear

Of wanton women and of men severe;

There will dire curses, dreadful oaths abound,

And vile expressions shock me and confound:

Noise of dull wheels, and songs with horrid words,

Will be the music that this lane affords;

Mirth that disgusts, and quarrels that degrade

The human mind, must my retreat invade:

Hard is my fate! yet easier to sustain,
