Save where the Seaman from the Gallery’s height,

For roast beef bawling, the cu’d Fiddler scolds;

Save that in yonder velvet-mantled box

A moping Countess to her Grace complains

Of macaws, monkeys, perroquets, and shocks,

And losses vaist and vaistly paltry gains.

Behind those rugged spikes that bag-wigs shade,

Where tuneful Folios lie in many a heap,

Each in his narrow line for ever laid

The embryo crotchets of the “Guardian” sleep.
