His pasteboard tradecard said
"The ambiguous Mr. Fleetwood
Shephard
Witty jests; bawdy reparte; pandering;
Influence peddling; heavy drinking;
Discrete translation into unknown
tongues;
Extreamly reasonable rates."
Apparently
It was slander to refer to him as
"The best paid pimp in England;"
he
Was not well paid. His death was often reported;
Being ambiguous, there’s
every chance
He remains alive and will celebrate
Turning 385 next New Year's Day.
