One Act (the Vagrant Act) has been its ruin!
Listen, oh listen, to Law’s serious call,
For fun and pleasure lead but to undoing!
From The Mirror. 1823.

The Long Vacation.
My Lord now quits his venerable seat,
The six clerk on his padlock turns the key,
From business hurries to his snug retreat,
And leaves vacation, and the town to me.
