The Mirror of Literature, Amusement, and Instruction - Volume 20, No. 580, Supplemental Number by Various
page 20 of 50 (40%)
You need but brush to either _Grey_ or _Black_.

From _Cowie_ works on _vaccination_ fetch,
_Pedestrian tours_ from _Walker_, or from _Stretch_;
And if in search of _wonders_ you should range,
Where can you seek them better than from _Strange_.

The suff'ring climbing boys our pity claim,
To aid their interest--_Suttaby_, I'd name;
And as they're oft of _churchyard-terrors_ slaves,
Print works to cure them, O! _Moon, Boys,_ and _Graves_.

For plans of bridges _Arch_ would be the best;
For stairs and steps on _Banister_ I'd rest;
All that relates to church or chapel holy,
I vote that such be _Elder's_ business solely.

_Sustenance_ on _diet_ surely ought to treat;
_Joy_ gives us _human happiness_ complete:
_Tilt_ will all works on _tournament_ enhance,
The _law_--Oh! that of course I leave to _Chance_,

_Priestly_ and _Chappell_ may divide _theology_,
_Hookham_ and _Roach_ the angling and _ichthyology_;
And for _Phrenology_, what need of rumpus,
One for his _Nob_ will do--so take it, _Bumpus_!
