Epigram
Dialogue Between a Catholic Delegate and His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland
Said his Highness to Ned,1 with that grim face of his,
“Why refuse us the Veto, dear Catholic Neddy?”
“Because, Sir,” said Ned, looking full in his phiz,
“You’re forbidding enough, in all conscience, already!”
