The Stock-jobber
IN that fam'd spot where PLUMBS are bought and sold,
And bulls and bears are truck'd for sterling gold,
Oft of dire wars fictitious rumors rise,
Thro' Garraway 's the spreading pannick flies,
And then Sir Mamon nicks his time and buys.
Blest be the sound in raptures he declares,
Blest be the very sound of broils and wars .
'Tis hence so long sought out by ages past,
The golden stone have I found out at last.
'Tis all prepar'd within my fertile brain,
In troops by land and navies on the main,
And French descents and armaments in Spain.
