Inventions curious, various kinds of toys,Engage the time of women, men, and boys;And Royal patents here are found in scores,For articles minute—or pond'rous Ores.

The streets are pav'd, 'tis true, but all the stonesAre set the wrong end up, in shape of cones;And strangers limp along the best pav'd street,As if parch'd peas were strew'd beneath their feet,Whilst custom makes the Natives scarcely feelSharp-pointed pebbles press the toe or heel.

"Our churches and chapels we generally findAre the places where men to the women are joined;But at Christ Church, it seems, they are more cruelhearted,For men and their wives go there and get parted."
