It more resembled one of later date And tenfold talent, as I’m told, in Bow st., Where kindlier souls do congregate; And though there are who deem that same a low street, Yet I’m assured, for frolicsome debate And genuine humour it’s surpassed by no street, When the ‘Chief Baron’ enters and assumes To rule o’er mimic Thesigers and Broughams.
