A RHYMER

Is a fellow whose face is hatched all over with impudence, and should he

be hanged or pilloried, 'tis armed for it. He is a juggler with words,

yet practises the art of most uncleanly conveyance. He doth boggle very

often, and because himself winks at it, thinks 'tis not perceived. The

main thing that ever he did was the tune he sang to. There is nothing in

the earth so pitiful--no, not an ape-carrier; he is not worth thinking

of, and, therefore, I must leave him as nature left him--a dunghill not

well laid together.
