Will be, their forming victims for my knife.

Now, John,—not Sir John Ross—I mean John Bull

Thou silly, soft, good-natured, guileless gull!

Why wilt thou let each knave enrich his nest

With treasures pilfered from thy downy breast?

Pill-bolting glutton of all sorts of trash!

In jest or earnest needing still the lash,

Thy cure (no sinecure) will keep, I fear,

My rod in pickle for another year.
