Note 304 — Chapter XVII
Reading edition
Lord Chatham did not long preserve his power, and Lord Edgcumbe soon came into place again, having first revenged himself on the Earl in this humorous epigram:
Says GoutyB to Gawkee,C pray what do you mean? Says Gawkee to Gouty, to mob King and Queen. Says Gawkee to Gouty, pray what’s your intention? Says Gouty to Gawkee, to double my pension. B Lord Chatham. C Lord Temple.
