Excerpt from Horace in New-York, Vol. 1

Ah, imp from Grub street, then you still will spite me Still come, Still bite me Still on a brother worm be feeding; You Wall-street broker, full of hum, And bleeding When I take flights, why do you bring vexations, Have you no bowels for your poor relations Part doctor's 'prentice, lancing without skill, Yes - do, Sir, touch me - and you'll have a bitter pill! Ah, parasite! Advance your rapier higher than my skin, Or, by St. Paul Yes - oh l'll - ah - aye - now your nib is in; I feel your toasting iron; but that good Sir I'll maul Only a minute on my calfskin linger Revenge is sweet Only keep still your spindle feet; And then - softly - and then Light on my blotting paper dmps my pen, And, dead for a ducat, says my thumb and finger.
