Of William to play us this trick,
Sets everything all topsy-turvy,
And banishes trade to Old Nick,
The Shopkeeper sighs with vexation,
The Milliner moans in despair;
In the West there is wild tribulation;
Teeth grinding and tearing of hair.
Farewell to the Season! The hunter
Of husbands is baulked of her game.
There is grief in the bosom of Gunter,
