Then who can repel it from rural resorts?
As all public places are pester’d with prowlers,
The streets are stagnated with stigmatiz’d strollers;
And some sanguine swindlers, though subtile and snug,
Plunge into the pit they for others had dug;
The same at Monkseaton, the mass must admit,
(With self-satisfaction) “The biters were bit”!!!
[79] South Seaton, so called at the time; but afterwards Monk Seaton, where —— Delaval, Esq. so completely castigated a covetous capuchin as to cause his death; for so doing, however, great part of his possessions were forfeited.—See the History of Tynemouth.
