To the most Honourable the Earl of OXFORD, The Lord High Treasurer .
The Epigrammatical Petition of your Lordship's most humble servant , JOHN GAY.
I' M no more to converse with the swains,
But go where fine people resort;
One can live without money on plains,
But never without it at court.
Yet if when with swains I did gambol,
I array'd me in silver and blue,
When abroad and in courts I shall ramble,
Pray, my Lord, how much money will do?
