He mov'd the door's unwilling latch,

The myrmidons rush'd rudely in,

And all above was noise and din.

Candles and lamps were all put out,

When it became a mingled rout,

While for the money on the table

Each grasp'd as much as he was able;

And our Quæ Genus had engross'd

More than by Humbug he had lost;

Then nimbly made a safe retreat
