ON Seeing the P---R's PICTURE, IN A N---ry HOUSE.
Was the Truth of this known,
Now I'd venture a Crown,
That this Picture's hung here out of spite;
But be that as it will,
He fares better still,
Than if he was put more in Sight.
Now I'd venture a Crown,
That this Picture's hung here out of spite;
But be that as it will,
He fares better still,
Than if he was put more in Sight.

Was he hung amongst All
In the Parlour or Hall,
He could but be seen, at the best;
Yet I'll venture to say,
(Tho' He's out of the Way)
He's gaz'd on, as oft as the rest:
In the Parlour or Hall,
He could but be seen, at the best;
Yet I'll venture to say,
(Tho' He's out of the Way)
He's gaz'd on, as oft as the rest:
And I may farther declare,
He's seen oftner, than they are,
(Tho' but One at a time he'll permit)
For it's Chance whether All
See the Parlour or Hall,
But undoubtedly all People s---t.
He's seen oftner, than they are,
(Tho' but One at a time he'll permit)
For it's Chance whether All
See the Parlour or Hall,
But undoubtedly all People s---t.
