[Life and execution of thief Jonathan Wild, part I.]
. . . After this manner Jonathan liv'd three or four years,
leading a life of pleasure, disturb'd with nothing, unless
it was now and then at the noise of a drum, which he had as
great antipathy to as some folks to cheese or a cat.
(Because it reminded him of drumming up recruits, which he
avoided becoming, not for lack of courage, but because he
had better ways of seeking his fortune.)
