    But ; who are you that take all my invective to yourself ?« Oh ! no , it was not meant for you , who only taint the air with sulphurous &moloe to recall the dingy atmosphere of your London ^ and wish that birds would , like your customers , fill your sack for your courtesies of the counter ; your bow and your hawking of your offices a * e of no avail , birds will not come to be killed to make a

    cockney ' s supper ; he must apply to the poulterer for a fowl , and despatch it / per coach , with a lie ; and so Tooley-street shall perpetuate the glories of the shooting-jacket . * Vain pretence ! the boy- ^ hoseared the birds from the spring corn was a hero to you ; tho'inoie is the only animal who has an instinctive dread at your

    approach , and pursues more intently his dirty ways , feeling that arrival is plodding on the surface . Enough !

Broad shoulders and bright cheeks , and a hand that never tires between sunrise and the glooming * Go home now , count the miles of your walk , call

    foiMthe Cognac to restore your lost powers . But whither goes your sport ? If north , steam it , and you will count a hundred miles ! a day , beside waves and gulls ; and then ports , and the Gaei ^ aad lakes , and O , you would off by the Shrewsbury coach ! Get down , you rascal ! defile not the Vale of Llangollen ; the 1 Welch sharps will be out of tune ; the mountains will grow
