The works of Mr. Thomas Brown | ||
To the indefatigable Rhimer.
By Dr. Smith.
O! S***rs, T***t, D***ett, M***gue,
G***y, S***ld, C***sh, P***ke, V***n, you,
Who suffer Bl***re to insult your Taste,
And tamely hear him bluster in Bombast,
Bid him, before he dare to write agen,
Resign his own, and take some other Pen.
D***n shall Numbers, C***ve Wit inspire,
Dr***ke nicest Rules, but B***le and Codron Fire.
Then G***rth shall teach him, and his witless Tribe,
First to write Sense, and after to prescribe.
The unlearn'd Pedant thus may please the Town,
But his own nauseous Trash will ne'er go down;
For naught can equal what the Bard has writ,
But R***ff's Scholarship, and G***n's Wit.
