"Nares rising paused; then gave, the contest done,

To Weston, Taylor's Hymns and Alciphron,

And Rochester's Address to lemans loose;

To Tew, Parr's Sermon and the game of goose;

To Coote the foolscap, as the best relief

A dean could hope; last to the hoary chief

He filled a cup; then placed on Norbury's back

The Sunday suit of customary black.

The gabbling ceased; with fixed and serious look

Gray glanced from high, and owned his rival, COOK."
