I told him that rogues in the crowd did assail,

Used my person quite ill, and my watch bore away.

He looking quite grim, bade me good hours keep,

Pay a shilling—and go to my home with all speed.


The Cook Shop.

I knew by the smoke that so greasefully curl’d,

From a kitchen below that a cook-shop was near,

And I said if a gorge’s to be found in the world,

The man that is hungry might hope for it here.
