Devonshire. Rochester : Printed by W. Epps, Troy-town. N.D.

Apparently an imitation of Peter Pindar. On the title page of the copy 
lent me by Mr. W. W. Eobinson, of Oxford, some person has written "by 
Keys, a Dancing Master." The running title is The Kentish Keview, etc. 
It begins as follows : — 
Jan Ploushare, once of Devonshire 
Was toir'd of ztaying zo long there, 
Among the volks o' the west, — 
Therefore a zaid a'd tak a walk, 
To Lunnon Zity, vor to talk 
Wi' the wize men o' the East. 
Jan having zeen the wond'rous zoights ! 
In Lunnon, both by days and noights, 
Zurprizing to be hurd ; 
A thoft of going home again. 
But ztayed to zee the virst of men, 
The great King George the third. 
And hearing Maister King were bent, 
To tak a journey down in Kent, 
To veiw the vollunteers : 
Jan zaid a would go down along. 
And mix among the moighty throng 
To veiw mun and his peers.
