Fancy, in her diitemperM views of things,
See' Kiwg. turn'd Beggars, Beggars into bongs--
Tie stately palace dwindled to a cottage,
And for a banquet sers'il a mess of patine.

Her dreams of witches, riblins, ghosts, and fairies,
Visions of present, or of future evils,
Assas.ins, Robbers, French ir.vailerir. Devils,
Never conceirl, what seems a paradox—.
The Cro,o degraded to display the Stocks!' !
