On hearing a very dull Sermon.
If, who would speak things well, must make them clear,And souls are touch'd, most strongly, thro' the ear,
If none convince, but they, who, first, perswade,
These preaching quacks, of heav'n, mistake their trade:
Who cloak their brightness, with a cloud of form,
And freeze the fancy, which they ought to warm.
