Before their king-belted prince, they stood rope-girdled like self-abased monks of St.
Adam Smith, in his rhetorical lectures at Glasgow , told us he was glad to know that Milton wore latchets in his shoes, instead of buckles. When I mention the oak stick, it is but letting Hercules have his club; and, by-and-by, my readers will find this stick will bud, and produce a good joke .
