By Mr Garrick & Knapp on their dissappointment at a visit to Ld Warwic

Some strollers invited by Warwricks kind Lord To his castle magnificent came Prepar'd to admire both the owner & house and to give them due honour and fame. This Stables, his Cellar, his kitchen they crow'd But alas! they soon found to their cost, That if they expected to dine with my Lord They reckon'd witht their great host. He show'd them Guy's pot But he gave them no soup no meat could his Lordship allow Unless they could pick the blade bone of the boar Or the nib of the famous deer Cow But since you're my friends said their complaisant Peer I'll show you a new printed book Which may to your taste some amusement afford The hist'ry of Greville & Brooke Since your Lordship is so civil, well bred and polite You'l pardon one curse from a sinner For your [crossed out: breakfast] bookfast we thank you, my very good Lord But a plague take your family dinner
