In like manner the Dean sometimes tried to write English words to be read into Latin, of which the following is an instance. TO DR SHERIDAN. AM I SAY VAIN A RABBLE IS, Terse I ow I ane you are wry.

I fancy the recorder is a dilatory gentleman, because he might have sent his opinion before this. You know I have some money to pay Mister Henry, and am in haste to bring matters to a conclusion. I made an appointment to be at the Deanery tonight, but am prevented by a tenant injured by an attorney, by whom I must stand. I am your most obedient and humble servant, THOMAS SHERIDAN.

DEAR DEAN, You may remember, about an hour ago, I wrote some AngloAngli, in imitation of yours; but I fear there are mistakes. If you find any, I make it my request to mend 'em. The ladies, namely Madam Harrison, Whitway, Sican, are ready to join you. So adieu to eleven. FROM DR SHERIDAN. Julij 15, 1735.

You writ to me some time ago, and I am ready to answer it thus. Alack-a-day, my ill ink; deuce is in it: it is not a bit fit for a dean; it is more fit for a puppy. I'll use it to Tighe. I writ a tory pamphlet, and Dick Tighe tore all, every bit. Dick is a beast. Dick is a serpent, I say. Dick is a turd, I say. Dick is a farter. Dick is pist, I say. Dick is a vixen. Dick is a squittering, nasty, fusty, musty cur. Dick is a ranter. Dick is a baboon, I say. Said I to Dick Tighe, can't you come in as a dancing-master, and dance a bory or a minuet? Damme if I do, said Dick. K-my a-, said I, you puppy. You're a sturdy ruffian, said I. You're a tory villain, said Dick. You're fit for a gallows, said I, and you may die a-dancing. You're a rascally cur, said Dick. Dick Tighe, said I, your rage is a fart to me. |
