VERSES in the SCRIBLERIAN Manner.
To the Rt. Honble. the Earl of OXFORD.
One that should be a Saint,and one that's a Sinner,
And one that pays reckning
but ne'r eats a Dinner,
In short Pope and Gay (as
you'l see in the margin)
Who saw you in Tower, and since
your enlarging,
And Parnell who saw you not since
you did treat him,
Will venture it now—you have
no Stick to beat him—
197
and true men, vous-avez;
Pray grant Us Admittance,
and shut out Miles Davies.
