That fly to such expedients every shudder*d at the melancholy view, And shunning contact, while he shrunk apart, Of taking pledges he observed the art. XXII. The Sundays tawdry finery here a flirt Disposed, and with it pawnd some charming schemes;There one appeard to pledge her husbands shirt, For lottery ventures and for lucky dreams ;While the spruce shopman from St. Martins Lane,Brought his top-boots and silver-headed cane. XXIII. But pity filld him when a matron came To ask upon her kettle half-a-crown ;Tis sad to see an aged female frame, Bending beneath calamitys stern would assist her, so to Mister SnatchHe hastily called out and held his watch. .gamxAT (K)l.
