The dying speech of Hector Wildfire, executed at Tyburn, for
a robbery on Hounslow Heath, November 9. 1762. . .  After
this I was put to a grammar school; but as soon as I had
enter'd prosody, I thought myself qualified in all learning,
and sufficient for all things. ---  After some time, I set
up for a ballad maker, and my ballads were sung about the
streets, in which I did not spare even Majesty itself.----
