'Like conchshell to the ear applied
My First in sound recalls the tide
My Second often stands for you
When between friends there's money due
My Third pursues a busy trade
Makes sweets & cells but ne'er is paid
My Fourth altho' it heads an ass
In arts & letters first would pass
Lovely my whole, & yet a den,
Where mammon sells the world of men
Still flourishing, but many eyes
See in far lands her smoke arise.'
