Excerpt from English Verse

We might have been prompted to make his acquaintance, if we had chanced to be in London at the time, and perhaps the acquaintance Of his bullying friend and patron, the great Dr. Johnson, who, if he had taken a fancy to us, after a good dinner at the Mitre Tavern, might have asked us to visit him at his lodgings in Bolt Court, where we would have seen his strange menagerie of pensioners - Robert Levett, prae.
