One who's in constant motion, always ambling,
Whose Head is like his Heels, for both are rambling.
No Corner or College is free, but he's in it,
At the Castle and Spittle-house End in a Minute.
He seems like Juglers Tricks where-e'er he goes:
Hey Jingo, Sirs, Where is he? At the Rose;
Presto, begon! he's at the Market-cross.

If you'd allow him Scholarship, then he
May well be call'd a walking Library,
So much his Head doth with vast Learning swell,
Full as an Egg, and of as thin a Shell.
But enough; for we never should have done talking,
If we were no more weary than he is of walking.
