“Salloway with tobacco Inspired, turned State quack-o; And got more by his feigned zeal Then by his, What d’ye lack-o?”
In another he is introduced thus,
“The tobacco-man Salway, with a heart tall of gall Puffs down bells, steeples, priests, churches and all, As old superstitions relicks of Baal.”
A third ballad, alluding to his attitude in the House, couples together

“Baron Hill was but a valley, And born scarce to an alley; But now is lord of Taunton Dean, And thousands he can rally.”
“Luke Robinson, that clownado, Though his heart be a granado, Yet a high shoe with his hand in his poke Is his most perfect shadow.”
