To say, your scheme is out of court:—

A barbarous and unparallel’d

Horrible sacrilege, in short.

And then the money,—do you dream

These folks are so profuse in spending,

That they’ll contrive new cost by lending

Existence to a half-hatch’d scheme?

When with a little deftness they

May so far patch the crumbling wall

That in our time it will not fall?
