Epigram on______________beautifying the Back Front of his house facing the River Thames ___ Supposed to be Written by a Waterman.
_______
On Silver Thames long time I've row'd
Full twenty years or thirty
While Britains Earl his backside show'd
Brown, slovenly, and dirty-
But 'tother day surprised I cry'd
to white so clean it made is
This cannot be my Lords backside
It suremust be my ladys [flourish] ==
Epigram on a swindling musician, but a good Harpsichord player- by [illeg.]: Tolfray ~
_______
His time was short his touch was neat
Our Gold he freely finger'd
{Algot?] alike with Hands and feet His movements have not linger'd But where's the wonder of the Case
A moments thought detects it
His practice has been Thorough-base
A chord will be his [exit?]
But while we blame his hasty flight
Our [censure?] may be rash
A Travel [cursive v with 2 dots under it] is surely right
To change his Notes for Cash. [flourish]
