I like to meet a sweep—understand me—not a grown sweeper—old chimney-sweepers are by no means attractive—but one of those tender novices, blooming through their first nigritude, the maternal washings not quite effaced from the cheek—such as come forth with the dawn, or somewhat earlier, with their little professional notes sounding like the peep peep of a young sparrow; or liker to the matin lark should I pronounce them, in their aerial ascents not seldom anticipating the sun-rise?

Riots avoid tho’ mischief none you do, Your being at them brings a stain on you; Those who look on, will afterwards repent, And share alike in point of punishment: The Law expressly properly declare, He adds to tumult that is present there; Take my advice let reason bear her sway, From scenes of discord, always keep away; You’d think it hard a worthless savage crew, Should gain by plunder all your goods from you: The worst of men are foremost on a plan, To gain by rapine every way they can; Do you suppose that wasting others store, Can ease the hardships of the labouring poor: No such a course, our present ills increase, And robs the Nation of its inward peace.
