Were any FAITHLESS TO HIS WEDDED JOAN,
SMUGGLER, or RUFFIAN, or the THREE IN ONE,
The Bard with honest Liberty of Pen
Expell'd him from the “cheerful Haunts of Men:”
Pursued him through his Labyrinth of Sin;
First mark'd him selling Stays, then seizing Gin;
Next of his Country's Foes the Scribe and Friend,
And last—But who shall say WHERE those Things end?
Anon.
