Attired To Tire


SIR JOSEPH JEKYLL wrote the following impromptu, on observing a certain

sergeant, well known for his prosiness, bustling into the Court of

King's Bench, where he was engaged in a case:--



Behold the sergeant full of fire,

Long shall his hearers rue it;

His purple garments came from Tyre,

His arguments go to it.
