Young travell'd coxcombs mighty knowledge boast,

With superficial Smatterings at Most.

Not so my mind, unsatisfied with hints,

Knows more than Budgel writes, or Roberts prints.

I know the town, all houses I have seen,

From High-Park corner down to Bednal-Green.

Sure wretched Wren was taught by bungling Jones,

To murder mortar, and disfigure stones!

Who in Whitehall can symmetry discern?

I reckon Convent-garden Church a Barn.
