Where, for the parks who once reforted there
With their curl'd wigs that fcented all the air,
They'll fee grave blockheads with fhort greafy hair.
Green-aprons, feeple-hats, and collar-bands;
Dull fniv'ling rogues that ring, not clap their bands;
Where, for gay punks that drew the fhining croud,
And miles that in vizards laugh'd aloud.
They'll hear young fifters figh, fee matrons old,
To their chop'd cheeks their pickled kerchers hold,
Whofe zeal too might perfuade, in spite to you,
Our flying angels to augment their crew;
While Farringdon their hero ftruts about 'em,
And ne'er a damning critic dares to flout 'em.
