    t lev have read the papers. I have feen a taylor run down from his garret, and' leave his goofe to cool, while lie enquired alter the mini dry ; and but yeller- day I met with Will Query running to fetch a mid- vvde to lus wife, and, -as he was in hkfle, he only fiept in and drank two dirties of coffee with me, while I told him of the new fcheme to pay off the national debt, and lower the price of porter; and read him three letters on the new paving the city of London. I iiis Lift Is a blunt nofe (8) denoting flotli and glut¬ tony. Such a nofe as this was worn by that lazy, pampered epicure, Sir Gregory Greedy, * * « Ah (fays he) the only pleafure of life confnds in eating. Nc- thin-g requires a nicer tafte than that curious art, cook¬ ery ; and a good cook, is to me, a more valuable creature than a parfon, a doTor, or a lawyer. The one preaches mortification, but look at his belly and you wid fee he lies.-.-The other advifes abiTmence to his patients and will go home to fit down to his ra¬ gouts : and the lawyer torments you fo with the law, that he takes your ftomach away.-flow many men chew for fifty years and never eat in their lives, flow I pity our forefathers——they never eat turtle--I wm new build my kitchen, and adorn it with the ffa- tue of the author of the land-caniage-fifh-lch'eme, for without him we fbould never have eat John Lory in London—-Oh what a pity it is, that the pleafure ct eating fbould be of fuch fhort duration! no man can eat for above two hours, and then it will be near four hours more before his appetite comes again. O the fat of a good haunch !-the delicious tafle of a hue tui bot!— the flavour of a good ragout, or a mlcious tricaffee. O hard fate! that a man mull die, and leave oytiers andf vermicelli behind him ! The royal jlamp makes current evry ore, And gives a value where was none before; So your applaufe on my attempt this night, Will make it fterling in the critic s fight.
