A Pox on your writing, I thought you were sh - - - - g,
My great Gut has giv'n me such Twitches:

I'm valiant, I'll Fight,
And take all that's said in my own Sense:
In Liquor I'm sunk,
And confoundedly drunk,
So there is the Source of this Nonsense.
_From the same Place._
A Wretch, whom Fortune has been pleas'd to rowl
From the Tip-top of her enchanted Bowl,
Sate musing on his Fate, but could not guess,

This City is a World that's full of Streets,
And Death's the Market-Place where Mankind meets;
