EPIGRAM CXCVII.
[The critics of a former day]
SUB JUDICE LIS EST.
The critics of a former day
Fell by the ears pell-mell;
Debating if with C, or K,
We Cicero's name should spell.

But this intelligence I get,
From so absurd a fray:
I'll not pretend to say;
But this intelligence I get,
From so absurd a fray:
While all with profit and delight,
Admire, remember, quote,
Fame will speak Cicero's Merits right,
Howe'er his name be wrote!
