Excerpt from The Works of Tim Bobbin, Esq., In Prose and Verse: With a Memoir of the Author
A man so various that he seem'd to be Not one, but all mankind's epitome; And in the course of one revolving moon Was teacher, piper, patriot and bufl'oon; Then all for painting, quipping, rhyming, drinking. Besides ten thousand freaks that died in thinking.
