Three theatres, C. G., D. L., H. M.
Were thought enough, but now no limit bars
Some three-and-thirty, while the most of them
Exist on moonshine to support the stars!
Velocipedes have hurried quickly past,
Kaliedescopes have changed this many a day,
While, o’er McAdam’s dust, wheels slow or fast
Maintain the “noiseless tenor of their way.”
Churches increase, and chapels ten times more,
But, most of all, in streets, and rows, and ranks,
