Mr. Garrick sent the following lines to a nobleman, who
asked him if he did not intend to sit in Parliament.
  More than content with what my talents gain, 
  Of publick favour though a little vain, 
  Yet not so vain my mind, so madly bent, 
  To wish to play the fool in Parliament;
  . . . [6 lines, with double entendre on theatrical roles]
