Description
Excerpt from The History of Johnny Quæ Genus: The Little Foundling of the Late Doctor Syntax a Poem by the Author of the Three Tours
It may, perhaps, be considered as presumption in me, and at my age, to sport even with my own Dowdy Muse, but, from the extensive patronage which doctor syntax has received, it may be presumed that, more or less, he has continued to amuse: And I, surely, have no reason to be dis satisfied, when Time points at my eightieth Year, that I can still afford some pleasure to those who are disposed to be pleased.
