Description
Excerpt from The Book of Snobs: And Sketches and Travels in London
Cup at the Festive Board; Pursued me through the Maze of Rotten Row; Followed me in Far Lands, on Brighton''s Shingly Beach, or Margate''s Sand. The Voice Outpiped the Roaring of the Sea, it Nestles in my Nightcap, And it Whispers Wake, Slumberer, thy Work is Not Yet Done. Last Year, by Moonlight, in the Colosseum, the Little Sedulous Voice Came to Me and Said, Smith, or Jones (the Writer''s Name is Neither Here Nor There) Smith, or Jones, my fine fellow, this is all very well; but you ought to be at home, writing your great work on Snobs.
