But as the law does think it fit,
No butchers shall in juries sit.

I took her by the lily white hand,
And by the twat I caught her,
I swear and vow, and tell you true,
She piss’d in my hand with laughter.

Pills to Purge Melancholy (1719)

Past are the Pangs of fear and doubt,
The Sun is from the Dial gone,
The Sands are sunk, the Glass is out,
The folly of the Farce is done.
