ON SEEING ON THE SAME BOOK-SHELF Johnson's Lives of the Poets, and Johnson's Lives of Highwaymen.
See British bards and British cut-throats madeAlike immortal by a Johnson's aid!
The neck with hemp, the brow with laurel bound,
The pen, the pistol, equally renown'd!
Fame's temple reaching by a different track,
Dryden on wings or Turpin on a hack!
