Idlers to wit--no Guardians some,
Of Tattlers in a squeeze;
Ramblers, in heavy carts and vans,
Spectators up in trees.
Butchers on backs of butcher's hacks,
That shambled to and fro'!
Bakers intent upon a buck,
Neglectful of the _dough_!
Change Alley Bears to speculate,
As usual, for a fall;
And green and scarlet runners, such
As never climb'd a wall!
'Twas strange to think what difference
A single creature made;
A single stag had caused a whole
_Stag_nation in their trade.
