Ye, who are anxious for a “country seat,”
Pure air, green meadows, and suburban views,
Rooms snug and light, not over large, but neat,
And gardens water’d with refreshing dews,
May find a spot adapted to your taste,
Near Barnsbury-_park_, or rather Barnsbury-_town_,
Where ev’ry thing looks elegant and chaste,
And wealth reposes on a bed of down!
I, therefore, strongly recommend to those
Who want a pure and healthy situation,
To choose MINERVA TERRACE, and repose
’Midst _prospects_ worthy of their admiration;--
How long they’ll last is quite another thing,
Not longer, p’rhaps, than the approaching spring!
