Next, Percy the Great did appear;

And Farmer, who twice in a pamphlet had sinn'd,

Brought up the empirical rear.

"The cooks the more num'rous the worse is the broth,"

Says a proverb I well can believe;

And yet to condemn them untried I am loth,

So at present shall laugh in my sleeve.

Rigdum Funnidos.
