Ars catchpolaria, or the art of destroying mankind, intended as a vade-mecum or pocket companion to messengers and other executors of the law. In prose or verse I shall rehearse The mighty stretch of pow'r, Nor stand in awe of Butcher Law Or any son of whore; To give a whet, to smart my pate Subscribers must be willing; Claudero's scull is ever dull Without the sterling shilling. Subscription money is taken in voraciously by the Author himself, and by all others intrusted with proposals subscribed by him.
