Each humble tenant to that home repairs -
By one large window lighted - it was made
For some bold project, some design in trade:
This fail’d, - and one, a humourist in his way,
(Ill was the humour), bought it in decay;
Nor will he sell, repair, or take it down;
’Tis his, - what cares he for the talk of town?
“No! he will let it to the poor; - a home
Where he delights to see the creatures come:”
“They may be thieves;” - “Well, so are richer men;”
