A man who does not laugh outright is a dullard, and has no heart; even the old dandy of sixty must have laughed at his own wondrous grotesque image, as they say Louis Philippe did, who saw all the caricatures that were made of himself. And there are some of Cruikshank's designs which have the blessed faculty of creating laughter as often as you sec them.
Página 182 - THE poor man's sins are glaring ; In the face of ghostly warning He is caught in the fact Of an overt act — Buying greens on Sunday morning. The rich man's sins are hidden In the pomp of wealth and station ; And escape the sight Of the children of light, Who are wise in their generation. The rich man has a kitchen, And...
Página 183 - The rich man's painted windows Hide the concerts of the quality; The poor can but share A crack'd fiddle in the air, Which offends all sound morality. The rich man is invisible In the crowd of his gay society; But the poor man's delight Is a sore in the sight, And a stench in the nose of piety.
Página 22 - A king can make a belted knight, A marquis, duke, and a* that, But an honest man's aboon his might, Guid faith, he maunna fa* that ! For a
