Sweet to return from bargaining, disputing,
Pourboires and Trinkgelds grudgingly bestowed—
Unto the simple charioteers of Tooting,
Or the Cromwell Road.
Sweet to return from "all those dreadful tourists,"
Such mixed society as chance allots,
E'en to the social splendour of the purists
Of those sparkling spots.
Sweet to return to bills and fogs and duty!
(Some of the latter at our Custom House)
