My ends attain’d, my only aim has been

To keep my place, and gild my humble name.”


My Name is Scraggem.

My name is Scragg’em. On famed Mutton Hill

My father sells his pies, a frugal man

Whose constant care it was to win the toss,

Increase his store, and keep my humble self at home.

To follow to the hill, to call out head or tail,
