And the traveller many .a fernag wont leamtio

Of the tam that was told by the neighbouri.

With 'opt& and forrow was fwellinf,
He heard that a Scholar, with (dente replete,

Had taken at CAMBILIDOZ a dwelling.
The Seho/ar was versed in all Magical arts,
Molt famous was he throughout College:

To report with Ring Pharaoh and his mighty holt,
He had lent through his powerful knowledge.

That prevented hit houfehokl from netting **nights,

The trees of the forelt 'gas: (diver;
The hoarfe raven trysail, and blue burnt the light,
The owl loudly ihrick'ci and pale with affright
The Dreams like Arpin, did quiver.
• Bring fume turnips and milk!" the Scholar he cry'd,
la a vaice like the echoing thooder :
They brought him kale turnips, and foes betide,
Some milk, and a fpoon, and his motions they ey'd
Quite kit In conjeeture and wonder.
He took up the turnips and peeled off the Orin,
Put titan into a pot that was boiling ;
Spread a table and cloth, and made ready to fup,
Them call'd for a fork, and the turnips Sl'd up
In a hurry, for they were a (polling.
He math'd up the turnips with butter and milk
The hail at the cerement* 'gen clatter;
Yet this Scholar ne'er heeded the tempt* without,
Bat railing his eyes, and turning about, .
Afled the maid for a (mall wooden planer.
He mailed up the turnips with pepper and fah...
The Ram came on thicker and falter:
The lightnings blue flailed, and with tart& din
The wind at each crevice and cranny atone in,
'hoeing up by the roots lath and philter.
He malh'd op the turnips with nutmeg and fpicv,
The awls would have ravilled a glutton ;
When lo ! his harp belies hardly coveed with thin,
Tile °holt from a nosh o'er the window peep'd in,
In the torn, of a Bono Seams or Me TT 0 PO.

The Scholar look'd sp in a twinkling..
" The times are too bad to afford any meat,
" So to render my turnips more pleafant to at,
' A few grains of pepper I'm fprinlling."
