Yorick’s Sentimental Journey through France and Italy, etc., 1768, vol. ii.
ANONYMOUS, 1769
“The Dramatic Race. A Catch. By a Lover of the Turf.”
Clear, clear the course—make room—make room, I say!
Now they are off, and Jonson makes the play.
I’ll bet the odds—done, sir, with you, and you;
Shakespeare keeps near him—and he’ll win it too:
Here’s even money—done for a hundred, done—
Now, Jonson! now or never—he has won.
