Glass
Never, till now, was brought to such a pass.
If Smith should pull his shop-front down,
Straightway at demolition's work goes neighbour Brown.
Some facts disclosed of late
Have opened people's eyes a little,
Showing that glass concerns are sometimes brittle,
And houses may be dished that put their strength in plate.
It would be well enough if all were fair,
And, like the windows, quite upon the square;
