pardon, that I came hither — for I heard the country was to be up CTVUTHGA to choose an Abbot of Unreason, and sure, thought I, I that can sing, dance, leap backwards over a SQC broadsword,

and am as good a fool as ever sought promotion, have all chance of carrying the office; and if I gain my election, I may stand his honour’s brother in some stead, supposing ARR
