“A man so various, that he seem'd to be Not one, but all mankind's epitome; Stiff in opinions,…”

“I look upon it, that he who does not mind his belly will hardly mind anything else.”

“A man he was to all the country dear, And passing rich with forty pounds a year.”

“But 't was a maxim he had often tried, That right was right, and there he would abide.”

“An honest man, close-button'd to the chin, Broadcloth without, and a warm heart within.”

“Whate'er he did was done with so much ease, In him alone 't was natural to please.”
