Comic Lines

Listen in the reader

Weddell attends your call, and Palgrave proud, Stonehewer the lewd, and Delaval the loud. For thee does Powell squeeze, and Marriot sputter, And Glynn cut phizzes, and Tom Neville stutter. Brown sees thee sitting on his nose’s tip, The Widow feels thee in her aching hip; For thee fat Nanny sighs, and handy Nelly, And Balguy with a bishop in his belly.
