104 A SEQUEL TO LXXX VII. There was a fortune-hunter, much resembling A dandy out at elbows—steeped in debt— Upon the verge of prison ever trembling— A gambler—always ready with a bet— Full of deception, yet so well dissembling His faults that one or two old ladies set Their caps at him—but all their assiduities Were vain, because they had such small annuities. LXXX VIII. There was a hoary sinner, who appeared At church on Sunday—where his small grey eyes Beneath each bonnet impudently peered, At those times when the congregation rise To sing King David’s psalms ; and then he leered Like an old goat, or uttered amorous sighs :— But chiefly ’twas with girls of twelve or thirteen That this old vagabond liked to be flirting. LXXXIX, If we stir up society’s obscenities And rake about its moral filth to find A villain from whose bosom the amenities | Of life have fled, and whose degraded mind ~ Is filled with predilections base and mean—it is Impossible to show a wretch more blind To decency and honour than the hoary Old rogue just introduced into our story. 7 comichbooksscom
