Its suites of reception every one,

Its private apartment and bedroom too;

"For a ticket, apply to the Publisher."

No: thanking the public, I must decline.

A peep through my window, if folk prefer;

But, please you, no foot over threshold of mine!

I have mixed with a crowd and heard free talk

In a foreign land where an earthquake chanced

And a house stood gaping, naught to balk

Man's eye wherever he gazed or glanced.
