A Conference Between the Devil and Doctor Dove
Together with the Doctor’s Epitaph on himself.
Here continues to rot,
The Body
Of that wicked old Lecher,
And most abandoned of all Scoundrels
That God ever gave Life to,
Squire Liliput,
alias
D____J____D.
Pedagogue.
Who from a narrow and illiberal Mind,
Spurious Birth and Parish Education,
Acquired a Knowledge of the
ALPHABET.
This Rampallian,
By an Effrontery peculiar to himself,
Commenc’d Vagabond Tutor.
The Capital Passions of his Soul were
Aspersing real Merit,
And practising S-d-m-t---l Acts
Whereby he forfeited the Friendship, and
ESTEEM
Of every virtuous Man in
EUROPE.
He flew from thence, to save his Life,
(Justly fofeited [sic] by his Crimes)
Into Pennsylvania;
Where,
Persisting in the uniform Practice
Of every Vice;
He taught Mankind (Almighty Mercy
Immeasurable,
By his continuing the Existence of
A PEERLESS VILLAIN.)
Being discarded the College,
He retreated to Gloucester,
In New-Jersey.
From whence in a short Time (altho’ a
MISOGAMIST)
He was hunted for his Pains incessant,
To obtain
The Charcoal Charms
Of ‘Squire H____n’s Negroe
WENCH.
Which when obtain’d,
Continually wallowing in
CONCUPISCENCE,
He with Disorder foul,
Communicated to her
The dire Disease, (which
Soon terminated in her
DEATH.)
And by that same Disease,
Introduc’d her, like himself,
Into a State of
ROTTENNESS.
Beyond the Efficacy of Medicine
To CURE.
He so far became Infectious, as
To impregnate the Atmosphere
Of Gloucester, with Poison.
This
Diabolical Wretch, at last
Was so offensive grown in the Nostrils of
The Inhabitants,
Oblig’d him to remove to Germantown
His filthy Carcase,
[END OF FIRST COLUMN]
Where by his Satanick Spirit prompted,
Commenc’d Professor of
TERATOLOGY.
But his Disorder growing more malignant,
Whereby into the Nostrils of his Pupils,
He stunk,
(Horrible INFECTION!)
Returning Home to their Parents,
They appear’d like Lepers,
And bereav’d of
HEALTH.
Again he was with Propriety discarded
From any future Service there,
Erected a Temple to Venus,
DEDICATED
For instructing the Youths in
The Science of
WHORING.
And those committed to his Care,
For moral Purposes, were taught
P E R J U R Y.
He even made unwary Youth,
Commit that dread Offence,
In Imitation of his constant
PRACTICE
Blasting with Scurrility Infernal,
Every virtuous and Modest Act of
MAN.
He in every mind affects to be recorded,
A wife and potend Friend, or
ENEMY.
Becoming to World more and more
OBNOCTIOUS.
And of Pupils being distitute,
INTENDED;
And his fleshly Tabernacle converted
INTO
A Temple of Excess,
Now held by his Co-Partner in
LECHERY.
Thus glorying with Joy ineffable,
In every shocking Crime;
(Black Fornication in particular)
He became uneasy to himself;
Scorn’d by his GOD;
And hated by
All good
MEN.
His rotten Carcase purpos’d to let
Sink, under
The complicated load of his
DISEASES;
He declar’s that expiation for his Sins,
And attrocious Crimes
Innumerable,
From GOD’s Justice he cannot
EXPECT.
Oh Indignant Reader!
His Life exhibits an useful Lesson
For future Ages
To Observe;
And shun the Life execrable,
Wherein rejoic’d
The most unworthy of
ALL MORTALS.
