_The Reverse: or, the Tables Turn'd_ (1700), p. 7, and to both Tutchin
and Benjamin Bridgwater in _The Examination, Tryal, and Condemnation of
Rebellion Observator_ (1703), p. 17. See also Howard William Troyer,

[17] Defoe's gloss on "_Piteous Satyr_" is "Satyr in Praise of Folly and
Knavery." (_The True-Born Englishman_, 1700, p. 37.) Since he regards
this as the title of the "_Satyr_ upon _Honesty_," Defoe may be
confusing _A Pindarick Ode_ with Tutchin's next satire, _A Search after
Honesty_ (1697).

THE
Tory Catch.
I.
A Friend of mine, and I did follow
A Cart and Six, with Brandy fraught;
We sate us down, and up did swallow
Each a Gallon at a draught:
The sober Sot can't drink with us,
May kiss coy Wine with _Tantalus_.
II.
With Musick fit for Serenading,
We did ramble to and fro;
Then to Drink and Masquerading,
'Till we cannot stand nor go;
One Leg by _Bacchus_ was quite lamed,
'Tother _Venus_ had defamed.
