Impromptus

IMPROMPTU by Mr. GRAY going out of Raby Castle.
Here lives Harry Vane,
Very good claret and fine Champaign.

EXTEMPORE by Mr. GRAY.
On Dr. K[eene], B[ishop] of C[hester].
The Bishop of Chester,
Tho' wiser than Nestor
And fairer than Esther,
If you scratch him will fester.

One day the Bishop having offered to give a Gentleman a Goose, Mr. Gray composed his Epitaph, thus:—
Here lies Edmund Keene Lord Bishop of Chester,
He eat a fat goose, and could not digest her.

And this upon his Lady:—
Here lies Mrs. Keene the she Bishop of Chester,
She had a bad face which did sadly molest her.

A COUPLET by Mr. GRAY:—
When you rise from your Dinner as light as before,
'Tis a sign you have eat just enough and no more.
