I wander thro'' each charter''d street
Near where the charter''d Thames does flow,
And mark in every face i meet

In every voice, in every ban,
The mind-forged manacles i hear.

Runs in blood down Palace walls.
But most thro'' midnight streets i hear
How the youthful Harlot''s curse
Blasts the new born infant''s tear,
And blights with plagues the marriage hearse.
