VERSES

Occasioned by a quarrel between Mr. Fielding and Mrs. Clive, on his intending for her the part of the Bawd in his own Play called the “Wedding Day.”

“A BAWD! a bawd!—where is the scoundrel poet?
“Fine work, indeed, by G---d the town shall know it.”
Fielding, who heard and saw her passion rise,
Thus answer'd calmly, “Prithee Clive be wise,
“The part will fit your humour, taste, and size.”—
“Ye lie, ye lie! ungrateful as thou art,
“My matchless talent claims the lady's part;
“And all who judge, by Jesus G—d agree,
“None ever played the gay coquet like me.”
Thus said, and swore, this celebrated Nell,
Now judge her genius—is she Bawd or Belle?
