ON THE MANAGERS OF THE GATE-HOUSE CONCERT IN NORWICH,
TAKING MONEY FOR ADMISSION TO IT, WITH THE VIEW OF RAISING A FUND FOR BUILDING A CONCERT-ROOM.
Amphion, as old stories tell,Wall'd a huge city tight and well,
By gently strumming on his shell,
With now and then a crash;
Cannot your louder tweedle-dum
Raise from its base a single room?
Must you, ere bricks and mortar come,
Exchange your notes for cash?
