386 On a Gallant.

What Gallant's that, whose oathes fly through mine ears? How like a Lord of Pluto's Court he swears! How Dutch-man like he swallows down his drink! How sweet he takes Tobacco, til he stink! How lofty sprighted, he disdains a Boor: How faithfull hearted he is to a—! How cock-tail proud he doth himself advance! How rare his Spurs do ring the Morrie-dance!
