ghizela rowe - january 1795 by mary darby robinson كلمات أغنية

pavement slipp’ry, people sneezing
lords in ermine, beggars freezing;
titled gluttons dainties carving
g_nius in a garret starving

lofty mansions, warm and sp_cious;
courtiers cringing and voracious;
misers scarce the wretched heeding;
gallant soldiers fighting, bleeding

wives who laugh at passive spouses;
theatres, and meeting_houses;
b_lls, where simp’ring misses languish;
hospitals, and groans of anguish

arts and sciences bewailing;
commerce drooping, credit failing;
placemen mocking subjects loyal;
separations, weddings royal

authors who can’t earn a dinner;
many a subtle rogue a winnеr;
fugitives for shelter seeking;
misеrs h__rding, tradesmen breaking

taste and talents quite deserted;
all the laws of truth perverted;
arrogance o’er merit soaring;
merit silently deploring
ladies gambling night and morning;
fools the works of g_nius scorning;
ancient dames for girls mistaken
youthful damsels quite forsaken

some in luxury delighting;
more in talking than in fighting;
lovers old, and beaux decrepid;
lordlings empty and insipid

poets, painters, and musicians;
lawyers, doctors, politicians:
pamphlets, newspapers, and odes
seeking fame by diff’rent roads

gallant souls with empty purses;
gen’rals only fit for nurses;
school_boys, smit with martial spirit
taking place of vet’ran merit

honest men who can’t get places
knaves who shew unblushing faces;
ruin hasten’d, peace r_t_rded;
candor spurn’d, and art rewarded
