The Extent of Cookery
Aliusque et idem.
Explanation.
Another and the Same.
When Tom to Cambridge first was sent,
A plain brown bob he wore;
Read much, and look’d as though he meant
To be a fop no more.
See him to Lincoln’s-Inn repair,
His resolution flag;
He cherishes a length of hair,
And tucks it in a bag.
Nor Coke nor Salkeld he regards,
But gets into the House,
And soon a judge’s rank rewards
His pliant votes and bows.
Adieu, ye bobs! ye bags! give place;
Full bottoms come instead;
Good L-d! to see the various ways
Of dressing-a calf’s head!
