He waa alao a musical amateur, an organist and a oom- poaer of paalm tunea, of which one is the well known '* Prostwick." He is thus described by Charles Sheridan : —

    • Next upon awiah-tailed bay, with wandering eye.

Attenuated Wilton canters by ; His character how difficult to know, A compound of Paalm- tunes and Tally-ho ; A forward Rider, half inclined to preach, Though less disposed to practise than to teach ; An amorous Lover, with a Saint-ly twist, And now a Jockey, now an Oi^niat." One of "H. B.'b*' clever sketches gives a good likeness of him on horseback in Hyde Park.
