Alexander Pope: Minor poems | ||
VI. On the Same.
[Behold! ambitious of the British bays]
Behold! ambitious of the British bays,C---r and Duck contend in rival lays:
But, gentle Colley, should thy verse prevail,
Thou hast no fence, alas! against his flail:
Wherefore thy claim resign, allow his right;
For Duck can thresh, you know, as well as write.
