To a fellow of the name of Dagee, who sang the coronation of Napoleon the First in two hundred of the most disgusting and ill-digested lines that ever were written, containing neither metre nor sense, was assigned a place in the administration of the forest department, worth twelve thousand livres in the year besides a present, in ready money, of one hundred napoleons d'or.
There was a roar at the expense of Garrick. 'The galled jade' winced terribly: he was touchy as tinder, sir: never was Digest so ill-digested." Bulletins were exhibited in Southampton-row several times a-day, signed by numerous physicians. Had he died, how posterity would have been befooled!
