An’ if a man did need a dinner now,

Whose dainty smell is present appetite,

Here lives a greasy rogue would cater one.

If I may trust the flattering truth of nose,

This should be Porridge Island—

Being twelve o’th’clock—the knives and forks are laid.


I do remember a young pleader,

And hereabouts he dwells; whom late I noted

In coat once black, with overwhelming brow,
