Pooh! pooh! he subscribes every quarter

For the Mission'ries sent to Japan,

And if that doesn't make one respectable,

Why, what is a respectable Man?

Of Religion he well knows the value,

For he was the first of beginners

To run up a fashionable Chapel

For elegant "mis'rable sinners;"

And to hire a good-looking Parson

To tell Dowagers "life's but a span,"
