ON SEEING A MISER AT THE LATE CONCERT IN SPRING-GARDENS.
Musick has charms to sooth, asswage the breast
To calm the tyrant and relieve th' opprest:
But Vaux-Hall concerts more attractive pow'r
Unlock'd Sir Richard's pocket at threescore.
O strange effect of musick's matchless force.
To extract two shillings from a miser's purse!
