Letters in answer to the farmer's letter V.
. . . [interspersed poetry with paragraphs on politics,
thus, paragraph, then poem in Latin, paragraph, then:]
  The coxcomb bird, so talkative and grave,
  That from his cage cried cuckold, whore, and knave,
  Tho' many a passenger he rightly call,
  You hold him no philosopher at all.
. . . [1 paragraph, then]
  No crab more active in the dirty dance,
  Downwards to climb, or backwards to advance.
