_Porson's Imposition._--When Porson was at Cambridge, his tutor lent him a
pound to buy books, which he spent in getting drunk at a {72} tavern. The
tutor set him an imposition, which he made to consist in a dog-Greek poem,
giving an account of the affair. These were the three first lines,--
[Greek: "Tutor emoi men poundon elendeto; ôs mala simplos]
[Greek: Ton men egô spendon kata dômata redlionoio,]
[Greek: Drinkomenos kai rhôromenos dia nukta bebaiôs."]
