Who aping Pan, with an inverted broom

Canst brush the cobwebs from the brows of care.

Our gallery gods immortalize thy songs,

Thy Newgate thefts impart ecstatic pleasure;

Thou bidd'st a Jew's harp charm a Christian throng,

A Gothic salt-box teem with Attic treasure.

When Harlequin, his charmer to regain,

Courts her embrace in many a queer disguise,

The light of heels looks for his sword in vain—

Thy furtive fingers snatch the magic prize.
