Baker, however, was not dash’d with ease—

But proved he practised after their own system,

And with small ceremony soon dismiss’d ’em,

Putting these words into their ears like fleas;

“If I do have a blow, well, where’s the oddity?

I merely do as other tradesmen do,

You, Sir,—and you—and you!

I’m only puffing off my own commodity!”

URGING THE SAIL OF YOUR OWN WORK.
