ABSTRACT
GENTLE reader, didst thou ever read the first book of Virgil’s Æneis, 204 where, in a thunder-storm, while the sons of Eolus are kicking up a dust, up pops Neptune with a trident in his hand, which shaking at the Eolean fry, off they are in a tangent. Not otherwise was the appearance of the / father of the Cloudley family; his weapon of authority was the large horsewhip before mentioned, with which he gave such a crack, that the walls of the court and the old building re-echoed with the sound.
