THE TASTE OF THE TIMES.
Some whim or fancy pleases every age;For Talents premature 'tis now the rage.
In music how great Handel would have smil'd,
T'have seen whole crowds in raptures with a child.
A Garrick we have had in little Betty,
And now, we're told, we have a Pitt in Petty.
All must allow, since thus it is decreed,
He is a very Petty Pitt indeed.
