mark yonder pomp of costly fashion
air—“deil tak the wars.”
mark yonder pomp of costly fashion
round the wealthy, titled bride:
but whenpar'd with real passion,
poor is all that princely pride.
mark yonder, &c. (four lines repeated).
what are the showy treasures,
what are the noisy pleasures?
the gay, gaudy glare of vanity and art:
the polish'd jewels' blaze
may draw the wond'ring gaze;
and courtly grandeur bright
the fancy may delight,
