In silken or in leathern Purse retains
A : He nor hears with Pain
New Oysters cry'd, nor sighs for chearful Ale;
But with his Friends, when mighty Mists arise,

Where mindful of the Nymph, whose wanton Eye
Transfix'd his Soul, and kindled amorous Flames,

Wisheth her Health, and Joy, and equal Love.
Mean while, he smoaks and laughs at merry Tale,

But I, whom griping Penury surrounds,
And Hunger, sure Attendant upon Want,
With scanty Offals, and small acid Tiff
(Wretched Repast!) my meagre Corps sustain:
Then solitary walk, or doze at home
In Garret vile, and with a warming Puff
Regale chill'd Fingers; or from Tube as black
As Winter Chimney, or well-polish'd Jet,
Exhale , ill-perfuming Scent:
Not blacker Tube, nor of a shorter Size
Smoaks  (vers'd in Pedigree,
Sprung from  and , Kings
Full famous in romantick Tale) when he
O'er many a craggy Hill and barren Cliff,
Upon a Cargo of fam'd  Cheese,
High over-shadowing rides, with a design
To vend his Wares, or at the  Mart,
Or , or the ancient Town
Ecleap'd , or where  Stream
Encircles , fruitful Soil,
Whence flow nectareous Wines, that well may vie
With , or renown'd .
