154 On Garret and Chambers.
Garret and his friend Chambers having done
Their Citty bus'nesse walk'd to Paddington,
And comming neer the fatall place where men
I meane offenders ne're return agen,
Looking on Tyborn in a merryment,
Sayes Chambers here's a pretty Tenement
Had it a garret: Garret hearing that,
Replyes friend Chambers I do wonder at
Your simple censure, and could mock you for it,
There must be chambers ere there be a garret.
