To day one of their Party ventures out, Not with design to conquer, but to scout. Discourage but this first attempt, and then They'll hardly dare to sally out again. The Poetess too, they say, has Spies abroad, Which have dispersed themselves in every road, I'th' Upper Box, Pit, Galleries; every Face You find disguis'd in a Black Velvet Case.
The old man was relieved at once; but, as he walked away, he looked hard at his ticket, as if it wasn't exactly the kind of thing; and, turning round, he said, "Couldn't yo let me be a sweeper i'th streets, istid, Mr Eccles?"

As they drew nearer, we found that many of them had musical instruments, and when we met, my friend recognised them as working people living in the district, and mostly well known to him.

'tis all o'er my Well, Gentlemen, since none of these has sped, Gad, we have bought a Share i'th' speaking Head. So there you'll save a Sice, | You love good Husbandry in all but Vice; | Whoring and drinking only bears a Price. | After Jevern speaks to its Mouth. Oh! Oh! Oh! Stentor. Oh! Oh! Oh! Stentor answers. Hum There 'tis again, Pox of your Eccho with a Northern Strain.
Peter's Brother, What hast thou in one hand? What hast i'th' to'ther? Heaven Gate Keys. We do not think that the poets of the anti-shaving movement have as yet succeeded in producing anything worthy to be set off against a series of spirited stanzas under the heading of "The Razor, a Poem," which we commend to the immediate and careful attention of the "Razor-strop Man."
"Sure, yo con, wi' o' th' plezzur i'th world," replied he who acted as spokesman; and a low buzz of delighted consent ran through the rest of the company.
