Cologne

Cologne

In Köhln, a town of monks and bones,
And pavements fang`d with murderous stones
And rags, and hags, and hideous wenches ;
I counted two and seventy stenches,
All well defined, and several stinks !
Ye Nymphs that reign o`er sewers and sinks,
The river Rhine, it is well known,
Doth wash your city of Cologne ;

But tell me, Nymphs, what power divine
Shall henceforth wash the river Rhine ?
