If we do not our pockets fill,

Others there are who quickly will,

But not by any paltry gains,

As pilfering of Sovereigns.

You must not crib a handsome shawl

And say 'twas lost at such a ball;

Nor will you in some corner place

A card or roll of costly lace,

That when you think she has forgot it,

You to your own use may allot it:—
