He was a chagrin'd dull curmudgeon,
Who still took every thing in dudgeon;
A braggadocio, and a bully,
And every part he acted dully;
A blust'ring huffy raggamuffin,
Whose head-piece had but little stuff-in;
Tho' fortified without the cells,
Within contain'd mere bagatelles;
And tho' a stranger to good sense,
He had a stock of impudence.
He could put on a brazen face,
And tell you with a sloven grace,
A false, unlikely, flim-flam story,
That he had wrought great wonders for ye.
