“Confound the renegado! I have sprained
My left wing, he's so heavy; one would think

517

Some of his works about his neck were chained.
But to the point; while hovering o'er the brink
Of Skiddaw (where as usual it still rained),

And stooping, caught this fellow at a libel—
No less on History—than the Holy Bible.
