Excerpt from Rowton House Rhymes Apologia Pro Suis Carminibus. O what a royal thing is Reticence! And Silence, O how god-like splendid! Yet, We that are singers, and have need of pence To buy our babies bread, why should we let Aught of the god or king our tongues up-tie If men will toss us coppers for the song, And Goldilocks and Dimplechin to die Forbear? Sure, Silence, then, were hellish wrong. So to the market-place! If the crowd pay, Bread's won, and Bread's an honourable cause.
