Metres and rhymes that fail to dowel,

Willing to turn from pains so sharp

To some soft labour with the trowel.

Sooner than let our love-birds pine

For post-impressionistic dwellings,

With all the windows out of line

And curious humps and antic swellings,

The motley Muse's maundering nous

Cares nothing what the union rate is,

If any young things want a house
