mark yonder pomp of costly fashion

air—“deil tak the wars.”

mark yonder pomp of costly fashion

round the wealthy, titled bride:

but whenpar'd with real passion,

poor is all that princely pride.

mark yonder, &c. (four lines repeated).

what are the showy treasures,

what are the noisy pleasures?

the gay, gaudy glare of vanity and art:

the polish'd jewels' blaze

may draw the wond'ring gaze;

and courtly grandeur bright

the fancy may delight,
