Pat now applied his utmost art To make his Rev'rend Master smart,
Who when he cast a partial eye, The smooth-fac'd mirror passing by,
Just whisper'd, on the glancing view,
“'Tis not amiss—I think 'twill do.
And now,” he said, “'twere well to try A taste of that electuary,
Which, as I've known, so often serves
To give fresh vigour to the nerves.”
He with the dose was well content,
For 'twas of that which Vellum sent.
