Of tumbling torrents; or as in some mart
Of public note, for traffic far renown’d,
Where Jew with Grecian, Turk with African,
Assembled, in one general peal unite
Of dreadful jargon.—Straight on wooden bench
I take my seat, and con with studious care
Th’appointed tasks; o’er many a puzzling page
Poring intent, and sage Athenian bard,
With dialect, and mood, and tense perplex’d;
And conjugations varied without end.
