The same with things in brass and copper:
But I contend it's right and proper;
Shows that you never kept aloof on't,
But did the thing—and left a proof on't!
I know no writer yet that handles
The saving article of candles;
But whilst convinc'd how much depends
On ev'ry mortal's private 'ends'
The subject, I'll not wholly doff it,
It yields us all such glaring profit.
