On a Foolish Person

Jack, eating rotten cheese, did say,
“Like Samson, I my thousands slay.”
“I vow,” quoth Roger, “so you do,
And with the self-same weapon too.”

[From A Collection of Epigrams (1727).]

1. Sir Richard Whittington’s Advancement
2. The Maid of Dunmore
3. Arthur’s Seat
4. The Tummel and the Duck
5. King Cormac’s Crown
