EPIGRAM CXXX.
[Mankind, tho' satirists with jobations weary us]
CORRIGE SODES.
Mankind, tho' satirists with jobations weary us,
Has only two weak parts, if fairly reckon'd;
The first of which, is trifling with things serious;
And seriousness in trifles, is the second:—
Remove these little rubs, whoe'er knows how,
And fools will be as scarce—as wise men now!
