And il you pump yourneighbors, Sir,
You pump, alasl in vain,
For no Que e'er acknowledged yet

It is fearful neighborhood,
SO secret and 30 sly;

Include the rich and high.
Pm told they're even cannibals,
And when they dine or sup,
by way Of change, they'll turn about,
And eat each other upl
Thav mnch rrese- Tbs ycuthsu,, s;-,

They grind up character and all,
And call it wholesome fare!
And should the helpless victim vince,
They heed not cries of pain;
These very bloody cannibals,
That live in Scandal Lane!
II you should chance to dine with them,
Pray never be deceived,
When they seem most like bosom friends
They're least to be believed.
Their claws are sheathed in velvet, Sir,
Their teeth are hid by smiles,
And woe-betide the innocent
Who falls beneath their wiles
When they nave singled out their prey,
They make a cst-ike spring;
Or hug them like serpent, ere
They plant the fatal sting!
And then they wash their guilty hands,
But don't efface the stain,
These very greedy oannibals,
That live in Scandal Lane!
