“ And still, against each new desire,Keep up a brisk and roaring fire.Let red hot coals the dripping savour,To give the meat a 'foreign flavour;'And say, whatever falls upon it,"The more there's in't, the more there's on it." ”
John Jones

It Will Instruct Any Person, That Can Read and Write, to Spell and Write Most Languages, That He Can Speak, and Uses to Read, in a Few Hours, by a General Rule, Contain'd in Two or Three Lines, and the Use of Spelling Alphabet, Which May Be Writ on the Twelfth Part of a Sheet of Paper, to Carry About Them. ”
“ You're up to all things—devil doubt you,None in the house can do without you.If bold as brass, and smart and tall,You'll be a fav'rite with 'em all;All will admire when you approve,With you the maids are all in love. ”
