Alone and in a Circumstance Reluctant to be told A spider on my reticence Assiduously crawled
And so much more at Home than I Immediately grew I felt myself a visitor And hurriedly withdrew
Revisiting my late abode With articles of claim I found it quietly assumed As a Gymnasium Where Tax asleep and Title off The inmates of the Air Perpetual presumption took As each were special Heir- If any strike me on the street I can return the Blow-
If any take my property According to the Law The Statute is my Learned friend But what redress can be For an offense nor here nor there So not in Equity- That Larceny of time and mind The marrow of the Day By spider, or forbid it Lord That I should specify.
