_Sell-cheap_ kept Shop on _Goodwin Sands_, and yet had Store of

Finikin _Dick_, curs'd with nice Taste,
Ne'er meets with good dinner, half starv'd at a feast.
Alas! that Heroes ever were made!
The _Plague_, and the _Hero_, are both of a Trade!
Yet the Plague spares our Goods which the Heroe does not;
So a Plague take such Heroes and let their Fames rot.

The 19th of this month, 1719, died the celebrated _Joseph

manners, than those of any other _English_ pen whatever.

To Friend, Lawyer, Doctor, tell plain your whole Case;
Nor think on bad Matters to put a good Face:
How can they advise, if they see but a Part?
'Tis very ill driving black Hogs in the dark.
Suspicion may be no Fault, but shewing it may be a great one.
He that's secure is not safe.
