In short, to set the thing at rest,
I live—wherever I live best:
I rise at two, am seen at four,
Once cab it round the ring, no more,
Merely to countenance the Park:
Just reach the Clarendon by dark.
Content three times a week to dine
Wherever I approve the wine;
Nor wish the giver in the Styx,
Although his vulgar hour were six;
Nor give him my especial hate,
Although he should not feed off plate;
Nor think the thing the more inhuman,
If chequered tastefully with women:
Not too much wife, and no relations—
Those people never know their stations.
I live—wherever I live best:

Once cab it round the ring, no more,
