A wretched hobnailed chuff, whose recreation is reading of almanacks; and felicity, foul weather. One that never prayed but for a lean dearth, and ever wept in a fat harvest. Fungoso. The son of Sordido, and a student; one that has revelled in his time, and follows the fashion afar off, like a spy.
