My commands there are none to forestall,

From the bandy-legged boots to the host

I am lording it over them all!

Oh! Leicestershire! where is the wag

Who called thee “a region of bliss?”

Better dine with “The Bore” at “The Rag,”

Than freeze in a pot-house like this!

I am outside society’s bounds,

Alone I must finish my weeds,

Never hear the sweet music of hounds,
