Not as a proselyte, but for claps,

He was in logic a great critic,

Profoundly skill'd in analytic;

He could distinguish, and divide

A hair 'twixt south and south west side;

On either which he could dispute,

Confute, change hands, and still confute;

He'd undertake to prove by force

Of argument, a man's no horse;

He'd prove a buzzard is no fowl,
