The polish’d age rolls on at ease:

Coach, chariot, chaise, berlin, landau[41]

(Machines the ancients never saw)

Indulge our gentle sons of war,

Who ne’er will mount triumphant car.

The carriage marks the peer’s degree,

And almost tells the doctor’s fee;

Bears ev’ry thriving child of art;

Ev’n thieves to Tyburn claim their cart.

O cruel law! replete with pain,
