He’d roast and boil’d upon his board; the boast
Of half his victims was his boil’d and roast;
And these at every hour: - he seldom took
Aside his client, till he’d praised his cook;
Nor to an office led him, there in pain
To give his story and go out again;
But first the brandy and the chine where seen,
And then the business came by starts between.
“Well, if ’tis so, the house to you belongs;
But have you money to redress these wrongs?
