Sit, like a night-mare, grinning o'er a page."

"Whose pye-bald character so aptly suit

The two extremes of Bantam and of Brute,

Compound grotesque of sullenness and show,

The chattering magpie, and the croaking crow."

"Whose heart contends with thy Saturnian head,

A root of hemlock, and a lump of lead.

Gilchrist proceed," &c. &c.

"And thus stand forth, spite of thy venom'd foam,

To give thee bite for bite, or lash thee limping home."
