Nay, nay, the times demand far different verse When vile men pander to their wives and take In their own name the legacies thus earned To which the law will not allow her claim; Skilled such become in knowing when to gaze Up at the frescoed ceiling, when to nod, And o'er their glasses feign to be asleep: When he can hope to reach a Colonel's place Who squandered money in a wild career, Nor kept his wealth ancestral while he drove The finest team seen on Flaminian way. With no mean company indee...d he rode; He held the reins when Nero and his boy Disgraced our streets by lust past nature's bounds, While Romans blushed and mourned the glories past.
How can I keep my waxen tablets smooth? How can forbear to take my hurried notes, 8 Though jostled at each elbow by the crowd, When here and there on every street is seen, Borne by six lusty slaves in sedan chair A la Maecenas carelessly outstretched, The forger now so famous, rich and proud; Become thus by a few brief parchment deeds, And wax well moistened e'er the seal was pressed?
