Strana 120 - An apothecary, a lawyer's clerk, three sailors, a counting-house clerk, a tailor, a Jew, a For- : tuguese sailor, a Cingalese, a barman, a gentleman's son, a broken-down merchant, a former lieutenant in the East India Company's service, a gipsy, a black fiddler, and a dancingmaster.
Strana 114 - AB am now entitled to bite, cut, suck, or otherwise eat the same orange, or give the same away, with or without its rind, skin, juice, pulp...
Strana 83 - Oh for a forty-parson power (') to chant Thy praise, Hypocrisy ! Oh for a hymn Loud as the virtues thou dost loudly vaunt, Not practise ! Oh for...
