On the first day of the new year, being, like other people, in the mood to ramble, I armed myfelf with my wooden fword, and fallied through various places in the metropolis. In the first place, however, let me obferve, that my fword is gifted with uncommon faculties, and is greatly fuperior to thofe poffeffed by the dull Harlequins of our theatres; inasmuch as my fword has the power of unmafking people and things, and fhewing them in their true characters. Being a very loyal fubject as well as a good Harlequin, I fuppofed it was my duty to pay my first visit to St. James's. I advanced towards the palace, waved my fword over my head, and then touched the outward gate, and the whole palace flew open to my view.

Not finding any thing more worth my attention at the palace, I turned down into Pall-mall, and stepped over to the left to call at Boodle's. I touched the door with my fword, and it flew open and difcovered to me two men fitting at a table. The one appeared to be a porter, with a knot upon his arm; and the other was a link-boy. I was a little aftonished at this tranfinutation myself, and wondered who it could be who according to their real characters ought to have occupied fo humble stations in life. On drawing near, however, and examining the, features closely, I difcovered the former to be Lord P--mf--t, and |
