The sound is here a most correct echo to the sense; like the
Βη δ’ ακεων παρα θινα πολυφλοισβοιο θαλασσης,
of Homer; the
Quadrupedante putrem sonitu quatit ungula campum,
of Virgil; the
Many a lusty thwack and bang,
of Butler;
And ten low words oft creep in one dull line,
of Pope, &c. Indeed, gentlemen, I shall almost be tempted to pronounce that person a sorry sort of a simpleton, who does not see, or seem to see, the lengthened visage and hanging lip of our learned Esculapian Fraternity, depicted with the phiz-hitting pencil of a Hogarth, in these eight beautiful and appropriate monosyllables.
