n of extraordinary Knowledge in this cramp Way of Writing, tells us, it must be read thus, in _English_: Here is good Liquor Of all Kinds to be sold, And civil Usage. And so we believe it was meant; for it is allow'd by all, that some few of the fair Sex can explain bad Sense and bad Spelling, even better than most of the Heads of the Universities. _Oxford, in a Window at Christ-Church._ Anger may glance into the Breast of wise Men: But it rests in the Bosom of Fools. _From the Same Place._ True Friendship multiplies our Joys; It mends our Griefs, and makes them light as Toys. _From Queen's-College, Oxon._ All that we know of what is done above, Is, that the Blessed sing, and that they love. _Rue de Boucharie._ Amasser en Saison, Dispenser par Raison, Et vous aurez une bonne Maison. _In a Window at an Inn on the West Country Road._ The Cook, confound her, boil'd no Roots; The Hostler never clean'd my Boots; The Tapster too, would hardly stir; The Drawer was a lazy Cur; The Chamberlain had made no Bed; The Host had Maggots in his Head: But _Millicent_, who kept the Bar, } Was worse than all the rest by far; } She was as many others are. } I kiss'd her till she had her Fill, I thought it Love, and with her Will. } But then ---- ---- ---- } She made a da----n'd confounded Bill. } Captain R. T. 1718. _Underwritten._ See the Bill Gentlemen. Thrice was I reckon'd for my Meat; Thrice was I reckon'd for Miss _Milly_'s treat; Thrice was I reckon'd for my dirty Boots; Thrice was I reckon'd for not having Roots; Thrice was I reckon'd by the lazy Fellows; And thrice I swore, I wish'd them at the Gallows; And if I come here any more, Then call me a Son of a Whore. R. T. 1718. _Rue D'Auphine, at Paris._ O Quelle Grand Traison! Les Couillions que je porte Lors que leur Maitre est en prison Ces Gallans d'ausant a la porte. N. B. _This is not render'd into _English_, but 'tis Ingratitude enough for two Servants, that have been well entertained a long while by their Master, should dance about a Prison Door, while their Master is in it._ _On a Window at the Ram, Newmarket._ Come hither, dearest, sweetest Turtle-Dove; You are my Goddess.--You alone I love. At Night, whene'er I close my Eyes to Rest, I dream of laying in your snow-white Breast
