Whilst happily I pass my Hours
In Camberwell's delightful Bow'rs;
From thence the beauteous Walks survey;
Or thro' the fragrant Mazes stray;
Or o'er the Study cast my Eye,
Where VIRGIL, COKE, and HORACE lie,
Just Emblem of a Bosom grac'd.

With Law, and Elegance of Taste;
APOLLO I invoke in vain,
APOLLO answers with Disdain:

" Mortal, you're here allow'd to roam,
" And bid to think yourself at home:
" O'er the Domesticks then preside;
" Let that content your Female Pride;
" In vain you call on me To-day;
" Here WAINWRIGHT only I obey. "
