Swims round the room, the Heinelle of Cheapside;

Ogles and leers with artificial skill,

Till, having lost in age the power to kill,

She sits all night at cards, and ogles at spadille.

Such through our lives the eventful history—

The fifth and last act still remains for me:

The bar-maid now for your protection prays,

Turns female barrister, and pleads for bays.
