CHESTERFIELD TRAVESTIE.

CHAP. I.

RULES FOR WALKING THE STREETS, OR OTHER PUBLIC PLACES,

“ Careful observers, studious of the town,
“ Shun the misfortunes that disgrace the clown.”

Gay's Trivia.

IF you walk in the park, or any other public
place, with a superior, always observe to take the
upper hand yourself: and if three or more be in
company, be sure to place yourself in the middle.

If, whilst you are walking, you see any person
of your acquaintance passing, be sure to bawl and
hem after them, like a butcher out of a public-
house window; and leave the person you are walk-
ing with to run after them.

In walking through a crowded street, throw
your legs and arms about in every direction, as if
you were rowing for Doggett's coat and badge.

N. B. If you have a short thick stick, it will be
of great advantage.
