leave his souls, 171:01,004[' ]| Stark stripped of bodies, amongst the shoals 171:01,005[' ]| Of black sea-toads, and other fry, 171:01,006[' ]| Which$6#1$ on$4$ the Stygian shore do lie: 171:01,007['

]| Pluto began to$9$ fret and fume 171:01,012[' ]| Because the tilt boat did not come; 171:01,013[' ]| To$4$ the shore's side he straight way trudges 171:01,014[' ]| With his three soul-censuring judges; 171:01,015[' ]| Standing on$4$ Acherontic strand 171:01,016[' ]| He thrice three times did waft his wand: 171:01,017[' ]| From gloomy lake did straight arise 171:01,018[' ]| A meagre fiend, with broad blue eyes; 171:01,019[' ]| Approaching Pluto, as he bowed, 171:01,020[' ]| From his head there dropped infernal mud; 171:01,021[' ]| Quoth he, 171:01,021[C ]| "7A 7tenebris 7et 7luto 171:01,022[C ]| I come" ~~ 171:01,022[B ]| It is well, 171:01,022[' ]| quoth surly Pluto. 171:01,023[B ]| "Go you to$4$ the other side of Styx, 171:01,024[B ]| And know why Charon is so$5#1$ prolix: 171:01,025[B ]| Surely on$4$ earth there can not be 171:01,026[B ]| A grant of immortality." 171:01,027[' ]| Away the wriggling fiend soon scuds 171:01,028[' ]| Through liquids thick as soap and suds. 171:01,029[' ]| In$4$ the meanwhile old Eacus, 171:01,030[' ]| Craftier far than any of us, 171:01,031[' ]| (For$3$ mortal men to$4$ him are silly; 171:01,032[' ]| Besides he held a league with Lilly; 171:01,033[' ]| And what is acted here does know 171:01,034[' ]| As well as the other does below) 171:01,035[' ]| Thus spake, 171:01,035[D ]| "Thou mighty King of Orcus, 171:01,036[D ]| Who$6#1$ into any shape canst work us; 171:01,037[D ]| I to$4$ your greatness shall declare 171:01,038[D ]| My sentiments of this affair. 171:01,039[D ]| Charon you know did use to$9$ come 171:01,040[D ]| With some elucid spirit home; 171:01,041[D ]| Some poet bright, whose glowing soul 171:01,042[D ]| Like$4$ torch did light him cross the pool; 171:01,043[D ]| Old Charon then was blithe and merry, 171:01,044[D ]| With flame and rhapsody in$4$ ferry. 171:01,045[D ]| Should he gross souls alone take in$5$, 171:01,046[D ]| Laden with heavy rubbish sin? 171:01,047[D ]| Sin that$6#1$ is nothing but allay: 171:01,048[D ]| It is ten to$4$ one he would lose his way. 171:01,049[D ]| But now such wights with souls so$5#1$ clear 171:01,050[D ]| Must not have damnation here; 171:01,051[D ]| Nor can we hope they will$1$ hither move, 171:01,052[D ]| For$3$ know (grim sir) they are damned above; 171:01,053[D ]| They are damned on$4$ earth by$4$ the present age, 171:01,054[D ]| Damned in$4$ cabals, and damned on$4$ the stage. 171:01,055[D ]| Laureat, who$6#1$ was both learned and florid, 171:01,056[D ]| Was damned long since for$4$ silence horrid; 171:01,057[D ]| Nor had there been such clutter made, 171:01,058[D ]| But that$3$ this silence did invade. 171:01,059[D ]| Invade! and so$3$ it might well, that$6#2$ is clear; 171:01,060[D ]| But what did it invade? ~~ an ear. 171:01,061[D ]| And for$4$ some other things, it is true, 171:01,062[D ]| We follow fate that$6#1$ does pursue. 171:01,063[D ]| A Lord who$6#1$ was in$4$ metre wont 171:01,064[D ]| To$9$ call a privy member c***, 171:01,065[D ]| Whose verse, by$4$ women termed lewd, 171:01,066[D ]| Is still preserved, not understood. 171:01,067[D ]| But that$6#2$ which$6#1$ made them curse and ban, 171:01,068[D ]| Was for$4$ his Satire*against*Man. 171:01,069[D ]| A third was damned, because in$4$ his plays 171:01,070[D ]| He thrusts old jests in$4$ Archee's days; 171:01,071[D ]| Nor as they say can make a chorus 171:01,072[D ]| Without a tavern or a whorehouse; 171:01,073[D ]| Which$6#1$ he to$9$ puzzle vulgar thinking, 171:01,074[D ]| Does call by$4$ the name of love and drinking. 171:01,075[D ]| A fourth for$4$ writing superfine, 171:01,076[D ]| With words correct in$4$ every line; 171:01,077[D ]| And one that$6#1$ does presume to$9$ say 171:01,078[D ]| A plot is too gross for$4$ any play: 171:01,079[D ]| Comedy should be clean and neat, 171:01,080[D ]| As gentlemen do talk and eat. 171:01,081[D ]| So$3$ what he writes is but translation, 171:01,082[D ]| From dog and partridge conversation. 171:01,083[D ]| A fifth, who$6#1$ does in$4$ this last prefer, 171:01,084[D ]| Above all, his own dear character 171:01,085[D ]| And fain would seem upon$4$ the stage 171:01,086[D ]| Too manly for$4$ this flippant age. 171:01,087[D ]| A sixth, whose lofty fancy towers 171:01,088[D ]| Above fate, eternity and powers; 171:01,089[D ]| Rumbles in$4$ the sky, and makes a bustle, 171:01,090[D ]| So$3$ gods meet gods in$4$ the dark and jostle. 171:01,091[D ]| Seventh, because he would rather choose 171:01,092[D ]| To$9$ spoil his verse than tire his muse. 171:01,093[D ]| Nor will$1$ he let heroics chime: 171:01,094[D ]| Fancy 171:01,094[' ]| (quoth he) 171:01,094[D ]| is lost by$4$ rhyme. 171:01,095[D ]| And he that$6#1$ is used to$4$ clashing swords 171:01,096[D ]| Should not delight in$4$ sounds of words. 171:01,097[D ]| Mars with Mercury should not mingle, 171:01,098[D ]| Great warriors should speak big, not jingle. 171:01,099[D ]| Amongst this heptarchy of wit, 171:01,100[D ]| The censuring age have thought it fit 171:01,101[D ]| To$9$ damn a woman, 'cause it is said 171:01,102[D ]| The plays she vends she never made, 171:01,103[D ]| But that$3$ a Grey's*Inn lawyer does them, 171:01,104[D ]| Who$6#1$ unto her was friend in$4$ bosom; 171:01,105[D ]| So$3$ not presenting scarf and hood, 171:01,106[D ]| New plays and songs are full as good. 171:01,107[D ]| These are the better sort I grant, 171:01,108[D ]| Damned only by$4$ the ignorant; 171:01,109[D ]| But still there are a scribbling fry 171:01,110[D ]| Ought to$9$ be damned eternally, 171:01,111[D ]| An unlearned tribe, of the lower rate, 171:01,112[D ]| Who$6#1$ will$1$ be poets spite of fate, 171:01,113[D ]| Whose character is not worth reciting, 171:01,114[D ]| They scarce can read, yet will$1$ be writing: 171:01,115[D ]| As the other day a silly oaf 171:01,116[D ]| Instead of Jove did call on$4$ Jofe; 171:01,117[D ]| Whose humble muse descends to$4$ cellars, 171:01,118[D ]| Or at the best to$4$ Hercules Pillars. 171:01,119[D ]| Now Charon I presume does stop, 171:01,120[D ]| Expecting one of these would drop, 171:01,121[D ]| For$3$ any such poetic damned-boy 171:01,122[D ]| Will$1$ light him home as well as flambeau." 171:01,123[' ]| Eacus just had made an end, 171:01,124[' ]| When did arrive the dripping fiend, 171:01,125[' ]| Who$6#1$ did confirm the judge's speech, 171:01,126[' ]| That$3$ Charon did a light beseech. 171:01,127[' ]| They fell to$4$ consultation grave, 171:01,128[' ]| To$9$ find some strange enlightened knave. 171:01,129[' ]| Faux had liked to$9$ have been the spark, 171:01,130[' ]| But that$3$ his lantern was too dark. 171:01,131[' ]| At last they agreed a sullen Quaker 171:01,132[' ]| Should be this business' undertaker; 171:01,133[' ]| The fittest soul for$4$ this exploit, 171:01,134[' ]| Because he had the newest light. 171:01,135[' ]| Him soon from sable den they drag, 171:01,136[' ]| Who$6#1$ of his sufferings doth brag, 171:01,137[' ]| And unto heel of fiend being tied, 171:01,138[' ]| To$4$ Charon's vessel was conveyed. 171:01,139[' ]| Charon came home, all things were well; 171:01,140[' ]| This is the only news from Hell. 171:02,000[' ]| 171:02,001[A ]| To$4$ what intent or purpose was man made, 171:02,002[A ]| Who$6#1$ is by$4$ birth to$4$ misery betrayed? 171:02,003[A ]| Man in$4$ his tedious course of life runs through 171:02,004[A ]| More plagues than all the land of Egypt knew: 171:02,005[A ]| Doctors, divines, grave disputations, puns, 171:02,006[A ]| Ill-looking citizens and scurvy duns; 171:02,007[A ]| Insipid squires, fat bishops, deans and chapters, 171:02,008[A ]| Enthusiasts, prophecies, new rants and raptures; 171:02,009[A ]| Pox, gout, catarrhs, old sores, cramps, rheums and aches, 171:02,010[A ]| Half-witted lords, double-chinned bawds with patches; 171:02,011[A ]| Illiterate courtiers, chancery suits for$4$ life, 171:02,012[A ]| A teasing whore, and a more tedious wife; 171:02,013[A ]| Raw Inns*of*Court men, empty fops, buffoons, 171:02,014[A ]| Bullies robust, round aldermen, and clowns; 171:02,015[A ]| Gown-men which$6#1$ argue, and discuss, and prate, 171:02,016[A ]| And vent dull notions of a future state; 171:02,017[A ]| Sure of another world, yet do not know 171:02,018[A ]| Whether they shall be saved, or damned, or how. 171:02,019[A ]| It were better then that$3$ man had never been, 171:02,020[A ]| Than thus to$9$ be perplexed: God save the Queen. 171:03,000[' ]| 171:03,001[A ]| While men endeavoured to$9$ adorn 171:03,002[A ]| The gilded crest of bloody Mars, 171:03,003[A ]| Poor Love met with contempt and scorn, 171:03,004[A ]| Nor had he one rag to$4$ his arse. 171:03,005[A ]| His wings were clogged with melting snow, 171:03,006[A ]| Hardly supported by$4$ his legs; 171:03,007[A ]| He had no$2$ string left to$4$ his bow, 171:03,008[A ]| His arrows too had lost their pegs. 171:03,009[A ]| I who$6#1$ had always seen him gay, 171:03,010[A ]| Wondered to$9$ find him thus distressed; 171:03,011[A ]| I told him if with me he would stay, 171:03,012[A ]| He might be welcome to$4$ my breast. 171:03,013[A ]| With a faint smile he showed his joy 171:03,014[A ]| And softly to$4$ his lodgings crept, 171:03,015[A ]| Where some design disturbed the boy, 171:03,016[A ]| He prattled all the time he slept. 171:03,017[A ]| With a large sigh his soul I filled, 171:03,018[A ]| Which$6#1$ made a rumbling in$4$ his guts; 171:03,019[A ]| Into his mouth I tears distilled, 171:03,020[A ]| Tears bigger far than hazelnuts. 171:03,021[A ]| His strength returned to$4$ every limb, 171:03,022[A ]| I let him round about me play; 171:03,023[A ]| I thought myself secure of him, 171:03,024[A ]| Not dreaming he would run away. 171:03,025[A ]| But this base perfidious elf 171:03,026[A ]| Ungratefully from me did part; 171:03,027[A ]| Not only stole away himself, 171:03,028[A ]| But took along with him my heart. 171:03,029[A ]| To$4$ Caelia then I did repair 171:03,030[A ]| With peremptory hue and cry, 171:03,031[A ]| Being assured this stolen ware 171:03,032[A ]| Must light into her custody. 171:03,033[A ]| She owned it with obsequious art, 171:03,034[A ]| And drew on$4$ me this dire mishap: 171:03,035[A ]| Instead of returning me my heart 171:03,036[A ]| She gave me a confounded clap. 171:04,000[' ]| 171:04,001[A ]| When trembling prisoners stand at bar 171:04,002[A ]| In$4$ strange suspense about the verdict, 171:04,003[A ]| And when pronounced they guilty are, 171:04,004[A ]| How they are astonished when they have heard it! 171:04,005[A ]| When in$4$ a storm a ship is tossed, 171:04,006[A ]| All ask, 171:04,006@x | What does the captain say? 171:04,007[A ]| How they bemoan themselves as lost 171:04,008[A ]| When his advice is only, 171:04,008@w | Pray! 171:04,009[A ]| And as it was my pleasing chance 171:04,010[A ]| To$9$ meet fair Caelia in$4$ a grove, 171:04,011[A ]| Both time and place conspired to$9$ advance 171:04,012[A ]| The innocent designs of love. 171:04,013[A ]| I thought my happiness complete, 171:04,014[A ]| It was in$4$ her power to$9$ make it so$5#2$; 171:04,015[A ]| I asked her if she would do the feat, 171:04,016[A ]| But (silly soul!) she answered, 171:04,016@v | No$7$. 171:04,017[A ]| Poor prisoners may have mercy shown, 171:04,018[A ]| And shipwrecked men may have the luck 171:04,019[A

to$4$ thy drink; 171:05,003[A ]| Or if in$4$ love with any, it must be rather 171:05,004[A ]| With that$6#2$ plump girl that$6#1$ does call Bacchus Father. 171:05,005[A ]| Thou mayst out-look, armed with her warm embrace, 171:05,006[A ]| Ten thousand volleys shot from woman's face, 171:05,007[A ]| Who$6#1$ would withstand without this aid divine 171:05,008[A ]| Ten thousand times as many tears of thine; 171:05,009[A ]| As many sighs and prayers would be her sport, 171:05,010[A ]| Exalted she so$5#1$ long maintains her fort. 171:05,011[A ]| But when diviner sack hath fired thy blood, 171:05,012[A ]| Creating flames which$6#1$ can not be withstood, 171:05,013[A ]| To$4$ which$6#1$ is added confidence as great 171:05,014[A ]| As his, that$6#1$ aimed at Jove's celestial seat; 171:05,015[A ]| Boldly march on$5$, not granting her the leisure 171:05,016[A ]| Of parley; it is the speed augments the pleasure. 171:05,017[A ]| If she cry out, with kisses stop her breath: 171:05,018[A ]| She can not wish to$9$ die a better death; 171:05,019[A ]| Tell her the pleasant passages between 171:05,020[A ]| The God of War and Love's more gentle queen, 171:05,021[A ]| When feeble Vulcan came, and in$4$ a fear 171:05,022[A ]| Lest they would not continue longer there, 171:05,023[A ]| He chained them to$4$ the sport, with an intent 171:05,024[A ]| To$9$ keep such lovers for$4$ a precedent; 171:05,025[A ]| Glad to$9$ behold a tempting pleasure that$6#1$ 171:05,026[A ]| His weak endeavours never could create. 171:05,027[A ]| Then stroke her breasts, those mountains of delight, 171:05,028[A ]| Whose very touch would fire an anchorite; 171:05,029[A ]| Next let thy wanton palm a little stray, 171:05,030[A ]| And dip thy fingers in$4$ the milky way. 171:05,031[A ]| Thus having raised her, gently let her fall, 171:05,032[A ]| Love's trumpets sound, now mortal have at all. 171:05,033[A ]| A happy end thus made of all your sport, 171:05,034[A ]| Lead her where every lover should resort, 171:05,035[A ]| Where Madam*Sack is enthroned, the temptingest lass 171:05,036[A ]| That$6#1$ ever was seated in$4$ a Venice glass. 171:05,037[A ]| Last, that$3$ this sense of pleasure may remain, 171:05,038[A ]| Cast away thought and fall to$4$ drink again; 171:05,039[A ]| Drink off the glasses, swallow every bowl, 171:05,040[A ]| And pity him that$6#1$ sighs away his soul 171:05,041[A ]| For$4$ that$6#2$ poor trifle, woman, who$6#1$ is mine 171:05,042[A ]| With one small gallon of immortal wine. 171:05,043[A ]| To$9$ get a mistress drinking is the knack: 171:05,044[A ]| Love's grand existence is almighty sack. 171:06,000[' ]| 171:06,001[A ]| I will$1$ mount my thoughts to$4$ giant height, 171:06,002[A ]| I am constellation in$4$ conceit; 171:06,003[A

bays. 171:06,007[A ]| I will$1$ rape the moon, it shall be said, 171:06,008[A ]| Cynthia hath changed the name of maid; 171:06,009[A ]| Her twinkling girls shall all be taken, 171:06,010[A ]| No$2$ virgin left to$9$ bear her train. 171:06,011[A ]| Thus conquering sun, moon, and stars, 171:06,012[A ]| Against gods themselves I will$1$ levy wars; 171:06,013[A ]| Or if on$4$ earth my mind can rest, 171:06,014[A ]| I will$1$ be a monarch at the least. 171:06,015[A ]| Our dull plebeians shall grow quicker, 171:06,016[A ]| Rinsing their muddy brains in$4$ liquor; 171:06,017[A ]| The miser then shall scatter cash, 171:06,018[A ]| For$3$ wine shall change his balderdash, 171:06,019[A ]| And sing and drink, and drink and sing 171:06,020[A ]| Till every subject turns a king. 171:06,021[A ]| The conquered gods shall make us legs, 171:06,022[A ]| Entreating they may sip the dregs. 171:06,023[A ]| Thus will$1$ we tipple till the world 171:06,024[A ]| Into oblivion is hurled, 171:06,025[A ]| And when we feel old age does come, 171:06,026[A ]| We will$1$ post into Elysium, 171:06,027[A ]| And there our chiefest Joys shall be 171:06,028[A ]| To$9$ think of past felicity. 171:07,000[' ]| 171:07,001[A ]| Beauty is nature's quaint disguise, 171:07,002[A ]| A covert for$4$ the game we hunt: 171:07,003[A ]| Being pinched but once or twice it dies, 171:07,004[A ]| And leaves behind a slimy 171:07,005[A ]| Honour is the pleasing cheat of men, 171:07,006[A ]| The white that$6#1$ does discover blots; 171:07,007[A ]| Like$4$ to$4$ the plague at height, which$6#1$ then 171:07,008[A ]|

171:12,082[A ]| Attends on$4$ drinking wine so$5#1$ late. 171:12,083[A ]| I drew my sword on$4$ honest Kate 171:12,084[A ]| Of the kitchen. 171:12,085[A ]| Which$6#1$ Hammond's wife would not endure,

171:12,201[A ]| Therefore the captain's part he took: 171:12,202@h | Home lad, 171:12,202[A ]| quoth he, 171:12,202@h | unto your book; 171:12,203@h | If letters fail, go bully-rock 171:12,204@h | The

mortal never saw 171:12,218@h | A thing so$5#1$ pert, so$5#1$ dull, so$5#1$ raw, 171:12,219@h | And yet it would put a case in$4$ law, 171:12,220@h | If they would. 171:12,221@h | Then it began to$9$ visit playes 171:12,222@h | And on$4$ the women it would gaze, 171:12,223@h | And looked like$4$ love in$4$ a maze 171:12,224@h | Or a wood. 171:12,225@h | Into fop corner you would get 171:12,226@h | And use a strange obstreperous wit, 171:12,227@h | Not any quiet to$4$ the pit 171:12,228@h | Allowing. 171:12,229@h | And when my lord came in$5$, you would spy, 171:12,230@h | If toward you he cast an eye, 171:12,231@h | You had lucky opportunity 171:12,232@h | Of bowing. 171:12,233@h | At last you got a swinging clap, 171:12,234@h | Which$6#1$ ran upon$4$ you like$4$ a tap, 171:12,235@h | And lay for$4$ cure of this mishap 171:12,236@h | At Tooting. 171:12,237@h | Then you writ letters of advice 171:12,238@h | To$4$ parent, for$4$ some fresh supplies, 171:12,239@h | Pretending to$4$ the exercise 171:12,240@h | Of mooting. 171:12,241@h | At length you understood a die, 171:12,242@h | Carrying in$4$ fob variety 171:12,243@h | Of goads, of bars, of flats, of high 171:12,244@h | And low

171:12,253[A ]| says he, 171:12,253@e | you are a cheat, 171:12,254@e | A greater knave walks not the street, 171:12,255@e | A verrier quack one shall not meet 171:12,256@e | In$4$ our age. 171:12,257@e | Doctors of physic we indeed 171:12,258@e | Do most abominably need; 171:12,259@e | If you are one, that$6#1$ scarce can read 171:12,260@e | A ballad. 171:12,261@e | You served a doctor ~~ true, from whom 171:12,262@e | You stole receipts, being his groom, 171:12,263@e | Or waiting on$4$ him in$4$ his room 171:12,264@e | As valet. 171:12,265@e | On$4$ serving men you used to$9$ cut, 171:12,266@e | Giving them the high game at put, 171:12,267@e | And made the fellows still run out 171:12,268@e | Their wages. 171:12,269@e | With chamberlain you quit old scores, 171:12,270@e | Ruin the tapster at all fours, 171:12,271@e | And still observe the carrier's hours 171:12,272@e | And stages. 171:12,273@e | To$4$ apothecary next you go, 171:12,274@e | To$4$ whom your stolen receipts you show, 171:12,275@e | That$3$ you have no$2$ learning he does know, 171:12,276@e | And small parts. 171:12,277@e | Yet for$4$ advantage does proclaim 171:12,278@e | You as the eldest son of fame 171:12,279@e | And swears your cures have got a name 171:12,280@e | In$4$ all parts. 171:12,281@e | Then take your lodgings at his house, 171:12,282@e | With care and secrecy to$9$ choose 171:12,283@e | Those fools incurable, that$6#1$ thus 171:12,284@e | Are minded. 171:12,285@e | If you are desired to$9$ write a bill, 171:12,286@e | Your eyes have a defluxion still, 171:12,287@e | That$3$ if you do but touch a quill 171:12,288@e | You are blinded. 171:12,289@e | Amongst gilded books on$4$ shelves you squeeze 171:12,290@e | Old Gallen and Hippocrates, 171:12,291@e | For$4$ such learned men 171:12,291[A ]| (say you) 171:12,291@e | as these 171:12,292@e | I will$1$ stickle. 171:12,293@e | Though what they were you can not tell, 171:12,294@e | Giants they might have been as well, 171:12,295@e | Or two archangels, Gabriel, 171:12,296@e | And Michael. 171:12,297@e | In$4$ short, you are an empty sawse ~~ 171:12,298[A ]| Before this word quite out he draws, 171:12,299[A ]| The doctor struck him cross the jaws, 171:12,300[A ]| God bless us! 171:12,301[A ]| The student then proposed a slap 171:12,302[A ]| Which$6#1$ on$4$ quack's best of eyes did hap, 171:12,303[A ]| With might and main, on$4$ youth fell cap ~~ 171:12,304[A ]| ~~ tain Bessus. 171:12,305[A ]| In$4$ the room was justice Middlesex, 171:12,306[A ]| Who$6#1$ understanding statute Lex, 171:12,307[A ]| Being unwilling to$9$ perplex 171:12,308[A ]| A riot, 171:12,309[A ]| Softly as he could speak, did cry, 171:12,310[A ]| (Which$6#1$ nobody observed but I) 171:12,311@i | My friends, in$4$ name of majesty, 171:12,312@i | Be quiet. 171:12,313[A ]| The youngster first desired a truce, 171:12,314[A ]| Because cravat from neck hung loose, 171:12,315@g | Captain, 171:12,315[A ]| quoth he, 171:12,315@g | your

for$4$ me, 171:12,320[A ]| Good night to$4$ ye. 171:12,321[A ]| And having now discharged the house 171:12,322[A ]| We did reserve a gentle souse 171:12,323[A ]| With which$6#1$ we drank another rouse 171:12,324[A ]| At the bar. 171:12,325[A ]| And good Christians all attend, 171:12,326[A ]| To$4$ drunkenness pray put an end, 171:12,327[A ]| I do advise you as a friend, 171:12,328[A ]| And

sir. 171:12,333[A ]| For$4$ having escaped the tavern so$5#2$, 171:12,334[A ]| There never was a greater foe 171:12,335[A ]| Encountered yet by$4$ Pompey, no$7$ 171:12,336[A ]| Nor Caesar. 171:12,337[A ]| A constable both stern and dread, 171:12,338[A ]| Who$6#1$ is from mustard, brooms and thread, 171:12,339[A ]| Preferred to$9$ be the brainless head ~~ 171:12,340[A ]| Of the people. 171:12,341[A ]| A gown he had on$5$ by$4$ age made grey, 171:12,342[A ]| A hat too, which$6#1$ as folk do say, 171:12,343[A ]| Is surnamed to$4$ this very day 171:12,344[A ]| A steeple. 171:12,345[A

curs that$6#1$ hither come 171:12,350[A ]| To$9$ keep the king's peace safe at home, 171:12,351[A ]| Yet can not keep the vermin from 171:12,352[A ]| Their cutis. 171:12,353@j | Stand! stand! 171:12,353[A ]| says one, 171:12,353@j | and come before ~~ 171:12,354@a | You lie, 171:12,354[A ]| said I, 171:12,354@a | like$4$ son of a whore, 171:12,355@a | I can not, nor will$1$ not stand, ~~ that$6#2$ is more ~~ 171:12,356@j | Do ye mutter? 171:12,357@a | You watchful knaves, I will$1$ tell what, 171:12,358@a | Yonder officer in$4$ the maypole hat 171:12,359@a | I will$1$ make as drunk as any rat 171:12,360@a | Or otter. 171:12,361[A ]| The constable began to$9$ swell, 171:12,362[A ]| Although he liked the motion well; 171:12,363[A ]| Quoth he, 171:12,363@k | My friend, this I must tell 171:12,364@k | Ye clearly: 171:12,365@k | The pestilence you can not forget, 171:12,366@k | Nor the dispute with Dutch, nor yet 171:12,367@k | The dreadful fire, that$6#1$ made us get 171:12,368@k | Up$5$ early. 171:12,369@k | From which$6#1$, 171:12,369[A ]| quoth he, 171:12,369@k | this I infer, 171:12,370@k | To$9$ have a body's conscience clear, 171:12,371@k | Excelleth any costly cheer, 171:12,372@k | Or banquets. 171:12,373@k | Besides 171:12,373[A ]| (and faith I think he wept) 171:12,374@k | Were it not better you had kept 171:12,375@k | Within your chamber, and have slept 171:12,376@k | In$4$ blankets? 171:12,377@k | But I will$1$ advise you by$8$ and by$8$, 171:12,378@a | A pox of all advice, 171:12,378[A ]| said I, 171:12,379@a | Your janizaries look as dry 171:12,380@a | As Vulcan. 171:12,381@a | Come, here is a shilling, fetch it in$5$, 171:12,382@a | We come not now to$9$ talk of sin, 171:12,383@a | Our business must be to$9$ begin 171:12,384@a | A full can. 171:12,385[A ]| At last I made the watchmen drunk, 171:12,386[A ]| Examined here and there a punk, 171:12,387[A ]| And then away to$4$ bed I slunk 171:12,388[A ]| To$9$ hide it. 171:12,389[A ]| God save the queen, but as for$4$ you, 171:12,390[A ]| Who$6#1$ will$1$ these dangers not eschew, 171:12,391[A ]| I would have you all go home and spew 171:12,392[A ]| As I did. 171:13,000[' ]| 171:13,001[' ]| The gods and the goddesses lately did feast 171:13,002[' ]| Where Ambrosia with exquisite sauces was dressed; 171:13,003[' ]| The edibles did with their qualities suit, 171:13,004[' ]| But what they should drink did occasion dispute; 171:13,005[' ]| It was time that$3$ old Nectar should grow out of fashion, 171:13,006[' ]| For$3$ that$6#2$ they have drank long before the Creation. 171:13,007[' ]| When the sky-coloured cloth was drawn from the board, 171:13,008[' ]| For$4$ the chrystalline bowl great Jove gave the word; 171:13,009[' ]| This was a bowl of most heavenly size, 171:13,010[' ]| In$4$ which$6#1$ infant gods they did use to$9$ baptize. 171:13,011[' ]| Quoth Jove, 171:13,011[B ]| We are informed they drink punch upon$4$ earth, 171:13,012[B ]| By$4$ which$6#1$ mortal wights do outdo us in$4$ mirth; 171:13,013[B ]| Therefore our godheads together let us lay, 171:13,014[B ]| And endeavour to$9$ make it much stronger than they. 171:13,015[' ]| It was spoke like$4$ a god, ~~ fill the bowl to$4$ the top, 171:13,016[' ]| He is cashiered from the skies that$6#1$ leaveth one drop. 171:13,017[' ]| Apollo dispatched away one of the lasses, 171:13,018[' ]| Who$6#1$ fetched him a pitcher from well of Parnassus; 171:13,019[' ]| To$4$ poets new born this liquor is brought, 171:13,020[' ]| And this they suck in$5$ for$4$ their first morning's draught. 171:13,021[' ]| Juno for$4$ lemons sent into her closet, 171:13,022[' ]| Which$6#1$ when she was sick she infused into posset; 171:13,023[' ]| For$3$ goddesses may be as squeamish as gypsies, 171:13,024[' ]| The sun and the moon we find have eclipses. 171:13,025[' ]| These lemons were called the Hesperian fruit, 171:13,026[' ]| When vigilant dragon was set to$9$ look to$4$ it; 171:13,027[' ]| Six dozen of these were squeezed into water, 171:13,028[' ]| The rest of the ingredients in$4$ order come after. 171:13,029[' ]| Venus, the admirer of things that$6#1$ are sweet, 171:13,030[' ]| (And without her infusion there had been no$2$ treat) 171:13,031[' ]| Commanded two sugar-loaves white as her doves, 171:13,032[' ]| Supported to$4$ the table by$4$ a brace of young loves; 171:13,033[' ]| So$5#1$ wonderful curious these deities were, 171:13,034[' ]| That$3$ this sugar they strained through a sieve of thin air. 171:13,035[' ]| Bacchus gave notice by$4$ dangling a bunch 171:13,036[' ]| That$3$ without his assistance there could be no$2$ punch; 171:13,037[' ]| What was meant by$4$ his signs was very well known, 171:13,038[' ]| So$3$ they threw in$5$ three gallons of trusty langoon. 171:13,039[' ]| Mars, a blunt god, who$6#1$ cared not for$4$ discourse, 171:13,040[' ]| Was seated at table still twirling his whiskers. 171:13,041[' ]| Quoth he, 171:13,041[C ]| Fellow gods and celestial gallants, 171:13,042[C ]| I would not give a fart for$4$ your punch without nantz. 171:13,043[C ]| Therefore boy Ganimede I do command ye, 171:13,044[C ]| To$9$ fill up$5$ the bowl with a runlet of brandy. 171:13,045[' ]| Saturn of all the gods was the oldest, 171:13,046[' ]| And you may imagine his stomach was coldest, 171:13,047[' ]| Did out of his pocket three nutmegs produce, 171:13,048[' ]| Which$6#1$ when they were grated were put to$4$ the juice. 171:13,049[' ]| Neptune this ocean of liquor did crown 171:13,050[' ]| With a hard sea-biscuit well baked by$4$ the sun. 171:13,051[' ]| The bowl being finished, a health was began. 171:13,052[' ]| Quoth Jove, 171:13,052[B ]| Let it be to$4$ our creature called man; 171:13,053[B ]| It is to$4$ him alone these pleasures we owe, 171:13,054[B ]| For$3$ Heaven was never true Heaven till now. 171:14,000[' ]| 171:14,000[' ]| 171:14,001[A ]| My masters and friends, and good people draw near, 171:14,002[A ]| For$3$ here is a new sight which$6#1$ you must not escape: 171:14,003[A ]| A stately young fabric that$6#1$ cost very dear, 171:14,004[A ]| Renowned for$4$ straight body and Barbary shape; 171:14,005[A ]| A pyramid much higher 171:14,006[A ]| Than a steeple or spire, 171:14,007[A ]| By$4$ which$6#1$ you may guess there has been a fire. 171:14,008[A ]| Ah London, thou hadst better have built new bordellos, 171:14,009[A ]| To$9$ encourage she-traders and lusty young fellows. 171:14,010[A ]| No$2$ sooner the city had lost their old houses, 171:14,011[A ]| But they set up$5$ this monument wonderful tall; 171:14,012[A ]| Though when Christians were burnt, as Fox plainly shows us, 171:14,013[A ]| There was nothing set up$5$ but his book in$4$ the Hall. 171:14,014[A ]| And yet these men can not 171:14,015[A ]| In$4$ their conscience but grant, 171:14,016[A ]| That$3$ a house is unworthy compared to$4$ a saint. 171:14,017[A ]| 171:14,018[A ]| The children of men in$4$ erecting old Babel, 171:14,019[A ]| To$9$ be saved from water did only desire; 171:14,020[A ]| So$3$ the city presumes that$3$ this young one is able 171:14,021[A ]| When occasion shall serve to$9$ secure them from fire. 171:14,022[A ]| Blowing up$5$ when all is done 171:14,023[A ]| Preserves best the town, 171:14,024[A ]| But this hieroglyphic will$1$ soon be blown down. 171:14,025[A ]| 171:14,026[A ]| Some say it resembles a glass fit for$4$ Mum, 171:14,027[A ]| And think themselves witty by$4$ giving nicknames; 171:14,028[A ]| An extinguisher too it is fancied by$4$ some, 171:14,029[A ]| As set up$5$ on$4$ purpose to$9$ put out the flames. 171:14,030[A ]| But whatever they shall 171:14,031[A ]| This workmanship call, 171:14,032[A ]| Had it never been thought on$5$ it had been a save-all. 171:14,033[A ]| 171:14,034[A ]| Some passengers seem to$9$ suspect the grave city, 171:14,035[A ]| As men not so$5#1$ wise as they should be, or so$5#2$; 171:14,036[A ]| And oftentimes say, 171:14,036@x | It is a great deal of pity 171:14,037@x | So$5#1$ much coin should be spent and so$5#1$ little to$9$ show. 171:14,038[A ]| But these men never stop 171:14,039[A ]| To$9$ pay for$4$ going up$5$, 171:14,040[A ]| For$3$ all that$6#1$ is worth seeing is when you are atop. 171:14,041[A ]| 171:14,042[A ]| But O you proud nation of citizens all, 171:14,043[A ]| Supposing you had reared but only one stone, 171:14,044[A ]| And on$4$ it engraved a stupendious tale, 171:14,045[A ]| Of a conflagration the like$0$ was never known; 171:14,046[A ]| It had been as good 171:14,047[A ]| To$9$ have humoured the crowd, 171:14,048[A ]| And then you had prevented their laughing aloud. 171:14,049[A ]| 171:15,000[' ]| 171:15,001[A ]| An aged couple have combined 171:15,002[A ]| And stock of years together joined, 171:15,003[A ]| To$9$ vie with time it is now designed. 171:15,004[A ]| Old emblem with thy scythe and sand, 171:15,005[A ]| Thy cankered power they do withstand, 171:15,006[A ]| Nor fate itself shall here command. 171:15,007[A ]| In$4$ vain will$1$ all their projects be; 171:15,008[A ]| Great Time, they must acknowledge thee 171:15,009[A ]| When they endeavour 7rem*in*re. 171:15,010[A ]| They represent (each tedious night, 171:15,011[A ]| When they their feeble force unite) 171:15,012[A ]| Methusalem the Hermaphrodite. 171:15,013[A ]| Of the grave posset made with sack 171:15,014[A ]| A holy sacrament they make, 171:15,015[A ]| Which$6#1$ they with like$2$ devotion take. 171:15,016[A ]| The dancing guests like$4$ lightning flew, 171:15,017[A ]| This venerable brace moved too 171:15,018[A ]| As cripples in$4$ the jovial crew. 171:15,019[A ]| While music played, this solemn pair 171:15,020[A ]| Kept time to$4$ every sprightly air, 171:15,021[A ]| With deep-mouthed cough and hoarse catarrh. 171:15,022[A ]| And now their wishes are complete, 171:15,023[A ]| With chaste desires in$4$ bed they meet; 171:15,024[A ]| The wedding seems a winding sheet. 171:15,025[A ]| There let us leave them, there they are safe, 171:15,026[A ]| The next remove is to$4$ their grave; 171:15,027[A ]| Epithalamium proves their epitaph.
