'Yes, clubs knock houses on the head; e'en Hatchett's can't demolish them;

Joy grieves to see their magnitude, and Long longs to abolish them.

The inns are out; hotels for single men scarce keep alive on it;

While none but houses that are in the family way thrive on it.

Bow, wow, wow, &c.

'There's first the Athenaeum Club, so wise, there's not a man of it,

That has not sense enough for six (in fact, that is the plan of it);

The very waiters answer you with eloquence Socratical;

And always place the knives and forks in order mathematical.
