Attack’d the honest, harmless beast,

And of his carcass made a feast.

Excuse me, Sir, if when I hear

Your worship’s voice, I shed a tear:

When it so loud and shrill does rise,

I think I hear poor Cuddy’s cries:

So like his braying is your shake,

My very heart is like to break!

MORAL.

Ye squallers, who for singers wish to pass,
