Teague's Ramble at Charing Cross.
Teague's Ramble at Charing Cross. So rambling Teague, with Vacant Visage Joggs, / Afar from his Barren wilds and Native boggs. / A link boy points the Thoughtless Oaf his Way, / So Will O'th Wisp of leads the Kern Astray; / A nymph and Baw'd, his wand'ring footsteps Wait,/ And leave his pockets empty as his pate; / The raving rakeshell finds to late his Loss, / Then curses night intrigues and Charing Cross.
J. McArdell fecit.
