When lo! the undigested cause he saw—

"Pison'd by goles!"

To Mrs. W.'s luck a contradiction,

Her window still stood open to conviction;

And by short course of circumstantial labour,

He fix'd the guilt upon his adverse neighbour;—

Lord! how he rail'd at her: declaring how,

He'd bring an action ere next Term of Hilary,

Then, in another moment, swore a vow,

He'd make her do pill-penance in the pillory!
