That short -- potential stir
That each can make but once --
That Bustle so illustrious
'Tis almost Consequence --
Is the eclat of Death --
Oh, thou unknown Renown
That not a Beggar would accept
Had he the power to spurn --
That short -- potential stir
That each can make but once --
That Bustle so illustrious
'Tis almost Consequence --
Is the eclat of Death --
Oh, thou unknown Renown
That not a Beggar would accept
Had he the power to spurn --
