Obsequiate

Pope of Rome, being in an awful jolly humor, got off a joke. Some fine ladies went to obsequiate him, and carried a little girl along with them.

“I am Potelin, Your Majesty’s Giwe of London, obsequiating Your Majesty:” says the bestial apostate.

[I]n the theatrical function to which he had given his presence, I had merited in an imposing manner the homage which the respectable obsequiated me, and for this he most charmingly regaled me with an imposing coloured gum.
