Knight-Errant of the shaking Head ;
Tho' he might with Don Quixot fight,
For he's both Windwill, and the Knight.
A thing design'd for nought but Show,
A whining Lover, and a Beaux:
As fine as a Peacock, as gay as a Fly,
Like a Parrot he talks, and as pert as a Pye;
With a finical Grace, if his Hat he but cocks,
Up it flies like the Lid of a Tobacco-box.
But pray, Sir Tripos, be n't a Critick,
The Man, they say, is Paralytick,
Or else a Fop, and who can find
Cures for Diseases of the Mind?
