From Appleby-school, he went to Sidney Sussex 144 MEMOIRS OF [GEORGE r. College, Cambridge, at the expence of Lord Thanet, by the kind recommendation of Mr. Noble, the clergyman that had noticed him at Appleby-school ; and pursuing this gentleman's advice, he went through all the ancient, and most of the English classics ; but his pleasures were chiefly confined to fishing in the Cam, with his beloved Spencer's " Fairy Queen, " and Brown's " Britannia's Pas- toral'" in his hand. At length, impr...udence won him from duty ; he disliked public disputations, and college discipline was still more odious to him ; he knew expulsion must ensue, as he little restrained his passions, and was still at less trouble to hide his demerits ; he therefore determined upon pinning an apologe- tical copy of verses to his gown, erased his name from the books, and bent his way to London. But he might have been re-admitted, as nothing very gross had been done by him ; but he thought London and freedom far preferable to Cambridge and submission.
