Of milliners and booksellers who grace

Waterloo Place,

Making division, the Muse fears and guesses,

'Twixt Mr. Rivington's and Mr. Hessey's.

Thou stood'st thy trial, Mac! and shav'd the road

From Barber Beaumont's to the King's abode

So well, that paviours threw their rammers by,

Let down their tuck'd shirt-sleeves, and with a sigh

Prepar'd themselves, poor souls, to chip or die!
