MORAL.

The dolt who hopes to mend his peace by law,
Should couch for safety in a tyger's jaw;
Or seek for cleanness in an Irish ditch,
Or go to Edinburgh to lose the itch;
Or fly to Cairo to elude disease,
Or Bedfordbury to avoid the fleas;
Expect plain truth in Mandeville's remarks,
Or ask for Honesty in Bevis Marks;
Or search for Liberty 'neath Gallic banners,
Or go to Billingsgate to learn—good manners.
