THE QUAINT PUNSTER.
Tom Warton, who sported a Pun with more Humour
Than Foote ever ply'd Repartee,
When it came to his Ears by the loud Buz of Rumour,
That Peers sordid Muckworms can be;
Than Foote ever ply'd Repartee,
When it came to his Ears by the loud Buz of Rumour,
That Peers sordid Muckworms can be;
For a rich noble Duke all his Fishponds had dragg'd,
And had sold all his Fish for the Yellow:
Why then, reply'd Tom, (who at Wit never lagg'd,)
“His Grace is a damn'd Sell-fish Fellow!”
And had sold all his Fish for the Yellow:
Why then, reply'd Tom, (who at Wit never lagg'd,)
“His Grace is a damn'd Sell-fish Fellow!”
