There he suspected ſreſh a e, Because the dinner was roaſt goose; And that he might no more he j er'd, Next day to Exeter he ſteer'd; There with some bucks he drank about Until he fear'd they'd found him out; His glass not fill'd, as was the rule, They said, 'I was not a thimble, full: The name of thimble was enough, He then to Plymouth took a trip, And put up at the Royal Ship. Which then was kept be Ca ib Snip. The ho by name was often call'd, At which his guest was so much gall'd That oon to Cambridge he remov'd; There too he unsuccessful prov'd: For though he fi 'd is glass or cup, H did not always drink it up: The scholars mark how he behav'd, And said a remnant ſhould b sav'd.
