But simple nature can her longing quench,

Behind the settle's curve, or humbler bench:

Some kitchen fire diffusing warmth around,

The semi-globe by hieroglyphics crown'd;

Where canvas purse displays the brass enroll'd,

Nor waiters rave, nor landlords thirst for gold;

Ale and content his fancy's bounds confine,

He asks no limpid punch, no rosy wine;

But sees, admitted to an equal share,

Each faithful swain the heady potion bear:
