BOBBY BIRCH’s EPIGRAM,
Reading edition
On the Westminster Boys damning “The Westminster Boy,” a Farce, by Edward Topham, Esq. Author of “The Fool,” and several other Things, produced for the Benefit of Mrs. Wells.

Oh! had Busby been living, for damning of farces, I’ll be damn’d if he wou’d not have tickl’d your ⸺.
