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?
