letra de january 1795 by mary darby robinson - ghizela rowe
pavement slipp’ry, people sneezing
lords in ermine, beggars freezing;
titled gluttons dainties carving
g*nius in a garret starving
lofty mansions, warm and sp-cious;
courtiers cringing and voracious;
misers scarce the wretched heeding;
gallant soldiers fighting, bleeding
wives who laugh at passive spouses;
theatres, and meeting-houses;
b-lls, where simp’ring misses languish;
hospitals, and groans of anguish
arts and sciences bewailing;
commerce drooping, credit failing;
placemen mocking subjects loyal;
separations, weddings royal
authors who can’t earn a dinner;
many a subtle rogue a winnеr;
fugitives for shelter seeking;
misеrs h–rding, tradesmen breaking
taste and talents quite deserted;
all the laws of truth perverted;
arrogance o’er merit soaring;
merit silently deploring
ladies gambling night and morning;
fools the works of g*nius scorning;
ancient dames for girls mistaken
youthful damsels quite forsaken
some in luxury delighting;
more in talking than in fighting;
lovers old, and beaux decrepid;
lordlings empty and insipid
poets, painters, and musicians;
lawyers, doctors, politicians:
pamphlets, newspapers, and odes
seeking fame by diff’rent roads
gallant souls with empty purses;
gen’rals only fit for nurses;
school-boys, smit with martial spirit
taking place of vet’ran merit
honest men who can’t get places
knaves who shew unblushing faces;
ruin hasten’d, peace r-t-rded;
candor spurn’d, and art rewarded
