Life is all a variorum,
We regard not how it goes;
Let them cant about decorum,
Who have characters to lose.


'The Jolly Beggars' (1799) l. 270


Life is all a variorum, We regard not how it goes; Let them cant about decorum, Who have characters to lose.

Life is all a variorum, We regard not how it goes; Let them cant about decorum, Who have characters to lose.

Life is all a variorum, We regard not how it goes; Let them cant about decorum, Who have characters to lose.

Life is all a variorum, We regard not how it goes; Let them cant about decorum, Who have characters to lose.
