' In London, about the period of the ninth moon, 

 The inhabitants delight in travelling to a distance : 

 They change their abodes, and betake themselves to the country, 

 Visiting their friends in their rural retreats: 



The prolonged somid of carriages and steeds is heard through the day : 

 Then in autumn the prices of provisions fall: 

 And the greater number of dwellings being untenanted. 

 Such as require it are repaired and adorned."

" The spacious streets are exceedingly smooth and level. 

 Each being crossed by others at intervals : 

 On either side perambulate men and women, 

 In the centre career along the carriages and horses :
