Your issue may walk among fine moral spires,
But if they went up somebody else built them.
Your store is a small one your goods have no buyers,
Your parents are raising your children.

Oh, I could have told you, the vices won’t hold you,
Warm in a coil where you lay.
But high up they hang you, seized by the temple,
