"'This is not a place, Mr Slick, for foundlings, I'de have you to know, she said, with an air of disgust, 'but children whose parents are of the first class of society.

The Divell allready Is furling up the sayles; would all the sackes Which we have bought for England were in Devonshire Turnd to small Beere, so we were but in Tavistocke To see it drawne out; were it nere so thin I'de drink a health to all the Dons in Sherryes And cry a pox upon 'em.
