The remaining expense, trouble, risk—and, alas!
My poor copyright too—into other hands pass;
And my friend, the Head Dev'l of the “County Gazette”
(The only Mecænas I've ever had yet),
He who set up in type my first juvenile lays,
Is now set up by them for the rest of his days;
And while Gods (as my “Heathen Mythology” says)
Live on nought but ambrosia, his lot how much sweeter
To live, lucky dev'l, on a young lady's metre!
