Nor the sweet environs of Drury Lane;
Nor dusty Pimlico’s embow’ring shades;
Nor Whitehall, by the river’s bank,
Beset with rowers dank
Nor where th’ Exchange pours forth its tawny sons;
Nor where to mix with offal, soil and blood,
Steep Snow Hill rolls the sable flood;
Nor where the Mint’s contaminated kennel runs;
Ill doth it now beseem,
That thou should’st doze and dream,
