On the Death of KITTY FISHER.

Of St. Peter 'twas said in the days of the Jews,
In Judea no Fisher could stand in his shoes:
But this I'll affirm, and I'm sure with no drift:
That he, ne'er like St. Kitty, was put to the shift!
Nay, I'll bett Bishop Warburton fifty to ten,
He, never like her, was the Fisher of Men.
