Of our great men, and Andreossi,

He show’d black art of worse description,

Than e’er did conjuring Egyptian.

He cut a bullock’s head I ween,

Sheer off, as if by guillotine;

Then (Satan aiding the adventure)

He made it bellow like a Stentor![58]

And this most comical magician

Will soon, in public exhibition,

Perform a feat he’s often boasted,
