What the letters of the Alphabet are like 

A is like the highest church preferment, because A makes BP Archbishop.  BP-ABP

B is like an Irishman, because B makes other bother.

C is like a North wind because C makes hill chill.

D is like night because it makes Ark dark.

E is like a transmutation, because it changes an animal substance into a vegetable and makes bony ebony.

F - a bad grammarian - makes a singular plural one fone.  "A barbarous troop of clownish fone" foes, Spenser.

G - a snake-killer - makes asp gasp.
