To have an opportunity of making his abilities known, to the
advantage of those who wear watches.  The advertiser will
clean watches, fit glasses, springs, inside chains; [a long
list of his services, followed by reasons to know
qualifications of one who advertises; John Simnet]
  Of peppermint water, at least to take a jill,
  Shall Neale, for astronomer pass?
  Now prove you know music,--exert all your skill,
  Set a clock, to the tune of, the ass.
  The ass, 
  Set a clock..&c
