He's "Post Obits" on half the "Blue Book,"

And a mortgage or two in each Shire;

And having more cash than he needs,

Why he lends to the poor all he can,

And only takes sixty per cent.,

Like a highly respectable Man.

He's his house like a nobleman's furnish'd,

His sideboard, too, blazing with plate,

And half silver, half gold, you'd declare

It belong'd to some peer of the State;
