Disturb their sleep, and poison every dish,
Nor let them taste, without a doubt, a wish:
The judge supreme, who each effect foresaw,
Cried, Havock, and let loose the dogs of law.
To a young Gentleman who loved to drive hard with a sorry pair of Horses.
BY MR. PRIOR.
Thy nags, the leanest things alive,
So very hard thou lov’st to drive,
I heard thy anxious coachman say
It cost thee more in whips than hay.
