—— This is some creature of the elements,

Most like your sea-gull1. He can wheel and whistle

His screaming song, e’en when the storm is loudest —

Take for his sheeted couch the restless foam2

Of the wild wave-crest — slumber3 in the calm,

And daily with the storm. Yet ’tis a gull,

An arrant4 gull, with all this.

THE CHAMPION.

“And here is to thee,” said the fashionable gallant5 whom we have described, “honest Tom; and a cup of welcome to thee out of Looby-land. Why, thou hast been so long in the country, that thou hast got a bumpkinly clod-compelling sort of look thyself. That greasy6 doublet fits thee as if it were thy reserved Sunday’s apparel; and the points seem as if they were stay-laces bought for thy true-love Marjory. I marvel7 thou canst still relish8 a ragout. Methinks now, to a stomach bound in such a jacket, eggs and bacon were a diet more conforming.”

“Rally away, my good lord, while wit lasts,” answered his companion; “yours is not the sort of ammunition9 which will bear much expenditure10. Or rather, tell me news from Court, since we have met so opportunely11.”

“You would have asked me these an hour ago,” said the lord, “had not your very soul been under Chaubert’s covered dishes. You remembered King’s affairs will keep cool, and entre-mets must be eaten hot.”
