Why, Ellen, such a pouting Face
Is quite against the Rule:
I fear you have incurr'd Disgrace,
Or done amiss at School.
What! Lucy Elton's rich Pelisse
Your envious Thoughts inspire?
And Fanny Jones disturbs your Peace
When dress'd in gay Attire?
You foolish Child, did you but know
The Way their Wealth was gained
Your Cheeks with honest Shame would glow
While youthful Life remained.
For Lucy's Father robb'd a Bank,
And Fanny's Sire a Church:
Far from such Wealth you Heav'n may thank
Your Name can None besmirch.
