VI. ANOTHER, AT CHESTER

The walls of this town

Are full of renown,

And strangers delight to walk round 'em:

But as for the dwellers,

Both buyers and sellers,

For me, you may hang 'em, or drown 'em.

VII. ANOTHER

WRITTEN UPON A WINDOW WHERE THERE WAS NO WRITING BEFORE

Thanks to my stars, I once can see

A window here from scribbling free!

Here no conceited coxcombs pass,

To scratch their paltry drabs on glass;

Nor party fool is calling names,

Or dealing crowns to George and James.
