Then take your evening wine and sitting,
Inspector of Senora's knitting;
Or order out your country cab,
Give whip and rein to your Queen Mab;
(And scarcely in a poet's dream,
A prettier hand e'er touch'd her team;)
And take the wisdom of the village
On last year's frost, and next year's tillage.
Hear men, Heaven knows who made their coats!
Discuss the latest price of oats;
And drop your summons with the vicar,
To give his verdict on your liquor.
