Sated with home, of wife, of children tired,

The restless soul is driven abroad to roam;

Sated abroad, all seen, yet nought admired,

The restless soul is driven to ramble home;

Sated with both, beneath new Drury's dome

The fiend Ennui awhile consents to pine,

There growls, and curses, like a deadly gnome,

Scorning to view fantastic columbine,

Viewing with scorn and hate the nonsense of the Nine.
