He round the corner hurries when the sparkling piece is o’er,

To see his favourite Beauties coming out by the stage-door;

He will jostle with his fellows to obtain a smile—nay, more,

To simply stare at her he’s seen some hundred times before,

Like a fine Young London Gentleman,

Quite of the present style.

He will hie him off to Hurlingham to join the dove battue;

He will “plank his pieces” down to join in battle with the Jew;

He will seek the same antagonist his “paper” to renew,

When he’s had the bank at baccarat, or “lost the quids” at loo,
