| The Works of Horace In English Verse | ||
What! though we own old Grecian Writers best,
Shall we from hence infer our Authors too
Excell in Merit, as they rise in Age?
To a short Issue then the Point is brought;
For sure we may with equal Truth maintain,
The Swan has sable Plumes, the Raven white.
In every Art we shine; we paint, we sing,
And wrestle better than th'anointed Greeks.

Excell in Merit, as they rise in Age?

And wrestle better than th'anointed Greeks.
