Worth beneath a threadbare cover,

Villainy bedaubed all over;

Women, black, fair, red, and gray,

Women that can play and pay;

Handsome, ugly, witty, still,

Some that will not, some that will;

Many a beau without a shilling,

Many a widow not unwilling,

Many a bargain, if you strike it,—

This is London, if you like it."
