Be't room of state or poverty's mean hovel,

He stands upon no points:—the couch is spread,

The table furnish'd—on't a goodly show

Of tempting dishes: what should he ask more?

He drops into a graceful attitude,

Calls like a lord about him, gorges greedily

The daintiest dish, washes it down with wine,

Then bilks his club, and quietly walks home.

I too am pieced with him in this respect,

And by the god my prudent course is fashion'd.
