The Extent of COOKERY.

------ Aliusque et Idem.

When Tom to Cambridge first was sent,
A plain brown bob he wore;
Read much, and look'd as tho' he meant
To be a fop no more.

55

See him to Lincoln's-Inn repair,
His resolution flag;
He cherishes a length of hair,
And tucks it in a bag.
Nor Coke nor Salkield he regards,
But gets into the house;
And soon a judge's rank rewards
His pliant votes and bows.
Adieu ye bobs! ye bags give place!
Full-bottoms come instead!
Good Lord! to see the various ways
Of dressing—a Calve's head!
