The Town Blade.

Room, Room for a Blade of the Town,
That takes delight in roaring,
And daily rambles up and down,
And spends the night in whoring:

That for the noble name of Spark
Does his Companions rally;
Commits an outrage in the dark,
Then slinks into an Alley.

To every Female that he meets,
He swears he bears affection;
Defies all Laws, Arrests, and Fears,
By the help of a kind Protection.

[OMITTED]
