The gen'ral heir-loom of his place,

Was seiz'd by the curmudgeon base,

And borne away, a paltry gain,

To his own Store in Mincing-Lane:

But when, among the other dues,

Were order'd off the Gouty Shoes,

Quæ Genus, with contempt inflam'd,

Thus, in a hearty tone, exclaim'd,

"Away, to the mean merchant bear 'em!

Heaven grant he may be forc'd to wear 'em!"
