If those are not sufficient to satisfy your and their Appetites, cement more closely the Union you have form’d with your new Associate D. J. D-ve: He will not only furnish you with that most agreable of all Foods to your Taste, but after it has found a Passage through your Body, (or leaky Vessel, as your Party calls it) he will greedily devour it, and, as soon as it is well digested, he will void it up for a Repast to the Pr—ry Faction: They will as eagerly swallow it as the other had done before, and, when it has gone through their several Concoctions, they will discharge it in your Presence, that you may once more regale on it, thus refined. — “Just so” (now for another Simile) acted the Man who kept a Number of Hogs: After he had dined plentifully, and Nature was ready to perform her Functions, he tied the Head of each of his Hogs to the Tail of another, except the foremost, an old Boar, which he tied to his own Tail: Matters being thus prepared, he fed the Boar with excrementitious Aliment, which, in due Time, pass’d through him, and so through them all, till at length it became again fitted for their Owner’s Stomach.

Nay, so pleased was he with his own dear Likeness, that he gave D-ve another Sum of Money to draw him in Thirteen (the Baker’s Dozen) different Attitudes, and to publish a Copper-Plate Print of them
