Seite 401 - I'll be Free-Mafon, nothing lefs, Unlefs I happen to be FRS I have a palate, and (as yet) two ears, Fit company for porters or for peers. Of ev'ry ufeful knowledge I've a fhare, But my top talent is a bill of fare. Sir loins and rumps of beef offend my eyes, Pleas'd with frogs fricafleed, and coxcomb-pies. Dimes I chufe though little, yet genteel, Snails the firft courfe, and peepers crown the meal. Pigs...
Seite 214 - Though long fince moulder'd in the dufky tomb, Still thy loft Garter is thy fovereign's care, And what each royal breaft is proud to wear. But let me now my lovely charge remind, Left they forgetful leave their fans behind ; Lay not, ye Fair, the pretty toy afide, A toy at once difplay'd, for ufe and pride, A wond'rous engine, that, by magic charms, Cools your own breafts, and ev'ry other's warms.
