LXXXVI.

In this they're like our coachmen, and the cause

Is much the same—the crowd, and pulling, hauling,

With blasphemies enough to break their jaws,

They make a never intermitted bawling.

At home, our Bow-street gem'men keep the laws,

And here a sentry stands within your calling;

But for all that, there is a deal of swearing,

And nauseous words past mentioning or bearing.
