Lovers who spoon, children who play,—

All, all who Nature love.

"Nor do I give them wholesome homes

For verdant meads—no, there's the fun!

Stuccodom, frail and sickly, comes

After 'Lot Twenty-One!'

"I make a clearing, dig a trench,

Run up a shell of rotten bricks.

And thus the rule of sham and stench

Upon the 'site' I fix.
