Under the PRINT of TOM BRITON, the Musical Small-coal Man.
Tho' mean thy Rank, yet in thy humble Cell,Did gentle Peace, and Arts Unpurchas'd dwell.
Well-pleas'd Apollo thither led his Train,
And Musick warbled in her sweetest Strain:
Cyllenius so, as Fables tell, and Jove,
Came willing Guests to poor Philemon's Grove.
Let useless Pomp behold, and blush to find
So low a Station, such a liberal Mind.
