Scripscrapologia or, Collins's Doggerel Dish Of All Sorts. Consisting of Songs Adapted to familiar Tunes, And which may be sung without the Chaunterpipe of an Italian Warbler, or the ravishing Accompaniments of Tweedle-Dum or Tweedle-Dee. Particularly those which have been most applauded in the author's once popular performance, call'd, The Brush. The Gallimaufry garnished with a variety of comic tales, quaint epigrams, whimsical epitaphs, &c. &c. [by John Collins] |

NON HIC ET UBIQUE.
Poor Teague, being told by his Master one day,When dispatch'd on some Errands to roam,
That instead of his making the best of his Way,
He was sluggishly loit'ring at Home:
“Sir, (says Teague) tho' you think me a Drone or a Dunce,
“Becaze I from Home have not stirr'd,
“Arrah how can I be in two Places at once,
Unless I'd got Wings like a Bird?”
