“Why, how now, saucy Tom?
         If you thus must ramble,
I will publish some
         Remarks on Mister Campbell.
                                                  Saucy Tom!”

                            Campbell.

“Why, how now, Billy Bowles?
         Sure the priest is maudlin!
(To the public) How can you, d—n your souls!
         Listen to his twaddling?
                                              Billy Bowles!
