The works of Mr. Thomas Brown | ||
A Story of a Greek Chevalier, Predecessor in a direct Line to the British Knight.
When fir'd with Glory, Philip's Godlike SonThe Persian Empire like a Storm o'er-run,
A worthless Scribbler, Cherilus by Name,
In pompous Doggrel, soil'd the Hero's Fame;
The Grecian Prince, to Merit ever just,
(For Monarchs did not then Reward on Trust)
Read o'er his Rhimes, and to chastise such Trash,
Gave him for each offending Line a Lash.
Thus Bard went off, with many Drubs requited,
That's in plain English, Cherilus was Knighted.
