The Argument of The Second Canto.
The Vision that the Fidler had,For which he was proclaim'd for MAD.
How Pride, and Forms, and School-Degrees,
Prophane surpassing Mysteries;
And boldly term 'em Reveries.
How Academick Priviledges
To horrid Roguerys are Hedges:
And how Professors once combin'd
Unask'd to be so very kind,
To cure the healthful Fidler's Mind.
While these Wise Men of Gotham-Elves,
In their Account forgot Themselves.
