Strana 30 - Where porters hogsheads roll from carts aslope, Or brewers down steep cellars stretch the rope, Where counted billets are by carmen tost Stay thy rash step, and walk without the post. What though the gath'ring mire thy feet besmear, The voice of industry is always near. Hark! the boy calls thee to his destin'd stand, And the shoe shines beneath his oily hand.
