"I cannot but refuse
My honest vote to your abuse;
And had I thought it was your plan
Thus to foul-mouth a Gentleman,
(And such he is, I'll boldly say,
By all he has propos'd to-day)
I would have stay'd and minded home,
Nor to this boist'rous Meeting come!
You could not give a harder banging
To one whose deeds had call'd for hanging.
