Alexander Pope: Minor poems | ||
V. On the Candidates for the Laurel.
Shall Royal praise be rhym'd by such a ribald,As fopling C---r, or Attorney T---d?
Let's rather wait one year for better luck;
One year may make a singing Swan of Duck.
Great G---! such servants since thou well can'st lack,
Oh! save the Salary, and drink the Sack!
