TO THE WRITER OF THE “Familiar Epistle to the Author of the History of English Poetry:”

—the Name of the Writer of that Epistle being supposed to be Riston.

[_]

The attribution of this poem is questionable.

Whose is that vixen, blue-skin Cur?
Plague on his snarling and his yelping!
Good People all, will no one stir
To whip the cursed little whelp in?
Then lift thy Leg up, honest Tom!
Let's see him plentifully p--- on!
Now—he runs sneaking, stinking home:—
There—take your Puppy, Master Riston!
 

Thomas Warton, the Author of the History.
