Oh Peace! if you do not disdain

To dwell amongst the menial train,

I have a silent place, and lone,

That you and I may call our own;

Where tumult never makes an entry—

Susan, what business have you in my pantry?

Oh Peace! but there is Major Monk,

At variance with his wife—Oh Peace!

And that great German, Vander Trunk,

And that great talker, Miss Apreece;
