The City Macaronies drinking Asses Milk, at the Lacteum, in
St. George's Fields. A Dialogue.
1st Mac.  Demme! if this is not the most perdigious ingenius
thought that ever was thought of.
2d Mac.  Quite immense, egad.  I'll bring Lady Betty and
Lady Bridget; they will positively like it, to a charm.
. . . [20 lines of inebriated discussion]
Ass Boy.  What the devil are those things? Are they monkies
or men?
Ass Woman.  By their squeaking I take them to be Opera
Singers;  I am sure they are not men.
