Englands abandoned to the fleeting passions,

Feckless as Fez, hysterical as Gaul,

All nigger-music and fantastic fashions

(And not a house from Leith to London Wall);

Where food and coal are dealt you out in rations

And you can hardly raise a drink at all,

And tailors charge you twenty pounds a touch.

Is that a place for Nabobs? No, not much.

Better were Hind where troubles more or less stick

To one set style and do not drive you mad
