Verse reads:
"Hot with the Tuscan grapre and high in blood | No mopeing cares, a mirthfull band withstood | Spoutwell the head, one night when reeling home, | From where loud laughs, had shook the joyous dome,
Like Hamlet roar'd adown old Drury lane, | "I'll call the Father! - Royal Dane" | A watchman bless'd with impudence and ease, | Cried "You may be d---d Sir' - call me what you please"
