The rake's progress: or, The templar's exit : In ten cantos, in Hudibrastick verse. Containing I. His coming out the west of England, being put under the care of his uncle, a Middlesex Justice. II. His learning at Westminster-school; and his creeping to bed with the maid, for fear of the spirits. III. His going to Braxen Nose College at Oxford; being expell'd for his debaucheries; and return into the country; with his whoring, roaring, ranting, swearing, fighting, &c. IV. His coming again to London; falling among pettifoggers, and solicitors; and the disputes among his friends, whether he should be a priest, a lawyer, or a physician. V. His following all three successively; and his vast improvement in each faculty, especially that of a cushion-thumper. VI. His natural philosophy; other natural parts, and natural impudence. VII. His conversation with old bauds, young whores, and town sharpers. VIII. His ruining his reputation, estate, and constitution. IX. His pains, and repentance; sickness without pity; and misery without mercy. X. His death by a halter; burial by a dunghil; and funeral-sermon by a converted rake of Covent-Garden. The whole interspers'd with innocent mirth, good morals, and too much of the author's own experience. By the author of The harlot's progress.
