This Bowse is better than Rom-Bowse,
It sets the Gan a gigling;
The Autem Mort finds better sport
In Bowsing than in nigling.
Tis better than Peckidge, Plannam,
Than Yarum, Loure, or Lage;
Then lift the same up to thy Nab,
And Bowse off a whole Gage.

My Doxy and I had a particular walk assigned unto us, wherein we were to travel, and not to intrench upon any of the others limits; whilst I thus rambled about with her, I learned of her the several qualities and offices of the Brother-hood, and how they were distinguished from each other according to their degrees of superiority and inferiority: the men were divided into these twenty several sorts.
