And Beauty panting with delight ; 1000 Chastity, woman's fairest crown, Till the return of morn laid down, Then to be worn again as bright As if not sullied in the night ; Dull Ceremony, business o'er, Dreaming in form at Cottrell's door Precaution trudging all about To see the candles safely out ; Bearing a mighty master-key, Habited like Economy, 1010 Stamping each lock with triple seals, Mean Avarice creeping at her heels. Suppose we too, like sheep in pen, The Mayor and Court of Aldermen Wi...thin their barge, which through the deep, The rowers more than half asleep, Moved slow, as overcharged with state ; Thames groan'd beneath the mighty weight, And felt that bawble heavier far Than a whole fleet of men of war. 1020 Sleep o'er each well-known, faithful head With liberal hand his poppies shed, Each head, by Dulness render'd fit Sleep and his empire to admit. Through the whole passage not a word, Not one faint, weak half-sound was heard ; Sleep had prevail'd to overwhelm The steersman nodding o'er the helm ; The rowers, without force or skill, 100 Sir Clement Cottrell, master of the ceremonies; who was succeeded in office bv Sir Robert Chester.
