AN EPIGRAMMATIC COLLOQUY,

Between the Lord Chancellor and the Right Honorable William Pitt; On the appointment of Sir Pepper Arden, to the mastership of the rolls.

Lord Chancellor.
Is it true you've fix'd Arden in Lloyd Kenyon's chair?
Zounds, the law wants a man with a head;

Mr. Pitt.
That's the reason I gave my friend Pepper the rolls,
As the courts could scarce furnish him bread.
