Now I, when my fortunes were just on the crash,
Found two or three neighbours plethoric of cash ;
I slipt in my lancet-drew blood by the pail,
And when creditors clamoured-I gave them leg-

bail.

All this in new light my morality sets:

He fled from dishonour and I from my debts.

I'm a true honest man, when I sconce their amount,

But the Frenchman's a scoundrel-because he's a

Count

-Thus far my politico-moral belief,

My scheme of Religion's as novel and brief

I believe that I AM!-that the world is a stage,
For

my TALENTS to rule or bewilder the age.—

I believe that the Church is an engine of state,
That Religion is priest-craft, and Providence, fate ;—
That Loyalty's one of Beelzebub's breed:

But the French Revolution, a goddess indeed!!
The BIBLE's a Book that sticks hard in my craw,
But my REGISTER'S Gospel, and Prophets and Law!

I worship my Genius my interests, adore;

I believe in One Person, MYSELF, and no more:
Yea, so strongly I love my dear self and my FAME,
I could worship JEHOVAH,-were C-BB-TT his

name.

THE END.
