On the Marquis of Annandale's conveying me a Present of Guineas in my Snuff-mill, after he had taken all the Snuff.
The
Chief requir'd my Snishing-mill,
And well it was bestow'd;
The Patron, by the rarest Skill,
Turn'd all the Snuff to Gowd.

Gowd stampt with Royal Anna's Face,
Piece after Piece came forth;
The Pictures smil'd, gi'en with such Grace,
By ane of so much Worth.

Sure thus the patronizing Roman
Made Horace spread the Wing;
Thus Dorset, by kind Deeds uncommon,
Rais'd Prior up to sing.

That there are Patrons yet for me,
Here's a convincing Proof,
Since ANNANDALE gives Gowd as free,
As I can part with Snuff.
