Honest Jack, I perceive you have been a great traveller:
Have you ever been at the World in the moon?  or do you
affirm on the credit of your old Friend Gonzales, that 'tis
not determin'd whether there are apothecaries there, and
then say the whole tribe of them live worse than the wretch
describ'd in the play . . . [11 more lines]
  Short-necks and stubbed shankt he is by birth,
  And rarely does he raise his eyes from earth;
  With rusty hair he hides his beetle scull,
  And the whole lump is both deform'd and dull.
. . . [4 lines, signed] Sidrophel
