"Take a little Bibber,
And throw him in the river;
And if he will trust never,
Then there let him lie ever.
_Bibber._ Then say I,
Take a little Failer,
And throw him to the jailer,
And there let him lie
Till he has paid his tailor."--"Wild Gallant," p. 12.

[Footnote 22: A great word with Mr. Edward Howard.]
[Footnote 23: In imitation of this:--
"On seas, and in battles, through bullets and fire,
The danger is less, than in hopeless desire;
My death's wound you gave me, tho' far off I bear
My fall from your sight, not to cost you a tear:
But if the kind flood on a wave would convey,
And under your window my body would lay;
When the wound on my breast you happen to see,
You'll say with a sigh, it was given by me."
This is the latter part of a song, made by Mr. Bayes on the death of
Captain Digby, son of George, Earl of Bristol, who was a passionate
admirer of the Duchess Dowager of Richmond, called by the author Armida.
He lost his life in a sea-fight against the Dutch, the 28th of May, 1672.]

[Footnote 28: "Let my horses be brought ready to the door, for I'll go
out of town this evening.
Into the country I'll with speed,
With hounds and hawks my fancy feed, &c.
Now I'll away, a country life
Shall be my mistress, and my wife."
