NO MORE GAMBOLS, I.E. TUMBLING TRICKS.
'Twas merry at Christmas, when money was plenty;
And taxes took off not above five in twenty:
But how is it possible mirth should arise
No all that can make it is under excise?
When light is not free in the worst of dull weather;
Wheels pay if we ride; if we foot it, shoe-leather.
