Little Packs become a Little Pediar.
 
“Little boats must keep near shore, larger ones may venture more.”   1
       
“Mainwaring is a clever justice—
In him, my lord, our only trust is—

Volks shud turn round and see their backs,
And meend [mind] old proverbs: ‘Little packs,
       
Become a little pedlar.”
       
Peter Pindar: Middlesex Election, letter i.
