To the same upon his Play's being damn'd, for having too much Eating and Drinking in it.
Friend Harry, some furious Pretenders to thinking,Say thy Play is encumbred with eating and drinking,
That too oft in all Conscience thy Table's brought out,
And unmerciful Healths fly like Hail-shot about.
Such a merry Objection who e'er could expect,
That does on the Town, and its Pleasures reflect?
Are a Dish and a Bottle grown quite out of Fashion?
Or have the spruce Beaux found a new Recreation?
Else why should these Fops be so monstrous uncivil,
As to damn at a Play, what they like at the Devil?
