So little giv'n at Chapel Door!-- <br />This People doubtless must be poor: <br />So much at Gaming thrown away!-- <br />No Nation sure so rich as they. <br />Britons, 'twere greatly for your Glory, <br />Should those, who shall transmit your Story, <br />Their Notions of your Grandeur frame, <br />Not as you give, but as you game.<br /><br />Mary Barber<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-epigram-on-the-same-occasion/
