Namesakes and the Pride of a William in the Courant
The narrator laments wit and critique aimed at his own name William the Great Prince and recounts a lively gathering where friends roast names. A curate compares a William to a willow while Mrs Quaint counters, and the speaker defends the value of a well founded name, citing records and songs before appealing to the public.
