IN the train a Lord Chancellor, taking his seat,
Thus address'd an old friend whom he happen'd to meet:
"You, Serjeant, are double the man you once were,
You are grown quite a porpoise of late, I declare."
"Much pleasure, my lord, as a porpoise, I feel
To find myself seated so near the Great Seal."
