THE

ADVENTURES

OF

Capt. Greenland.

WRITTEN

In Imitation of all thofe WISE, LEARNED,
WITTY and HUMOROUS AUTHORS,
who either already have, or hereafter
may write in the fame Stile and Manner.

The Brain I'll prove the Female to my Soul!
My Soul the Father; and these two beget
A Generation of ftill Breeding Thoughts,
And these fame Thoughts people this little World,
In Humours like the People of This World,
SHAKESPEAR.
