A67523	Ward, Edward, 1667-1731.	Step to Stir-Bitch-Fair with remarks upon the University of Cambridge.	1700.0		.xml	application/xml	9559	257	58	The next place we arriv'd at , was our Journeys-end , Cambridge ; where Black and Purple Gowns were stroling about Town , like Parsons in a Country Metropolis , during the Bishops visitation ; Some looking with as meagre Countenances , as if in search of the Philosophers-Stone , they had study'd themselves into an Hypocondriack Melancholly ; other 's seeming so profoundly thoughtful , as if in pursuance of Agrippa's Notions they were studying how to raise Sparagrass from Rams-Horns , or to produce a Homunculus as Gardeners do Pumpkins , by burying the Semen in a Dunghil ; some looking as Plump and as Jolly as a painted Bacchus bestriding a Canary Butt ; smiling as he past by , at his own Soliloquies , as if he was muttering over to himself some Bacchanalian Ode , he had conceiv'd in Praise of good Clarret ; others seeming as Sottishly Sorrowful as if they were Maudlin Fuddl'd , and lamenting the Misfortune of poor Anacreon , who Choak'd himself with a Grape-Stone ; some strutting along about Eighteen years of Age , in new Gown and Cassock , as if they had receiv'd Orders about two hours before , and were the next Morning to have Institution and Induction , to become the hopeful Guide of a whole Parish ; and here and there one appearring so Rakishly Thoughtless , as if Nature , by his empty Looks , had design'd him to grind Mustard , or pick Mushrooms for some Noble-Mans Kitchen ; tho' his Parents , in Opposition to his destiny , resolv'd to make him a Scholar . Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.	cache/A67523.xml	txt/A67523.txt
