'This enumeration of the various performances coupled with the word _all_ has been used in numerous different epigrams; an address to James the First, in the Ashmolean MSS., No. 1730, has:- _The Lords_ craveth all, _The Queene_ granteth all, _The Ladies_ of honour ruleth all, _The Lord-Keeper_ sealed all, _The Intelligencer_ marred all, _The Parliament_ pass'd all, _He that is gone_ opposed himself to all, _The Bishops_ soothed all, _The Judges_ pardoned all, _The Lords_ buy, Rome spoil'd all, Now, _Good King_, mend all, Or else _The Devil_ will have all. 'This again seems to have been imitated from a similar description of the state of Spain in Greene's _Spanish Masquerade_, 1589:-- _The Cardinals_ solicit all, _The King_ grauntes all, _The Nobles_ confirm all, _The Pope_ determines all, _The Clergie_ disposeth all, _The Duke of Medina_ hopes for all, _Alonzo_ receives all, _The Indians_ minister all, _The Soldiers_ eat all, _The People_ paie all, _The Monks and Friars_ consume all, And _the Devil_ at length will carry away all.' 1811. _January 18, 1811._ _College Pranks, or Crabbed Fellows Taught to Caper on the Slack Rope._ Published by T. Tegg (53).--Two portly, and highly respectable Fellows of the University, proceeding along their quadrangle, are assailed with a rough practical joke by a party of unruly young undergraduates; a rope is being suddenly lifted up with a hearty good-will by a riotous mob at either end, and the astonished 'dons' are tripped up and turned over like turtles on a memorial-stone--'Here lies the body of _Bishop Bleareyes_.' Squibs, squirts, and whips, in the hands of these disorderly students, are further contributing to the annoyance of the capsized magnates. _February, 1811._ _A Sleepy Congregation._ Rowlandson fecit. Published by T. Tegg (54).--The interior of a parish church. Of the occupants of a family-pew in the foreground the elders are sleeping, while a fair young worshipper's thoughts are evidently wandering; the attentions of one or two buckish youths, seated in the vicinity, seem to be centred on the lady; the clerk is snoring at his desk, regardless of the podgy and somewhat excited preacher over his head, who is quite absorbed in his sermon, which does not seem to interest anyone but the deliverer. _February 12, 1811._ _A Midwife going to a Labour._ Tegg's Caricatures (55).--The stout old nurse, a body of balloon-like expansiveness, is hurrying off, summoned to her duties, at an unearthly hour of the morning. Her head-gear is flowing about in the wind, her hood and cape are caught by the gale; a lantern is held in one hand, a brandy-bottle and a bundle, containing her luggage, are cuddled up in the other, and she is mounted on pattens. The night-watchman is dozing in his box, and a shivering chimney-sweeping lad is crouching along to his early toil, with brushes and bags.
