In Laudem Authoris.

Must Non-sence fill up every Page?
Is it to save th'expence
Of wit? or will not this dull Age
Be at the Charge of sence?
But (John) though Fortune play the Whore,
Let not the Vulgar know it;
Perhaps if you had not been poor,
You had not been a Poet.
Your Estate's held in Capite,
It lies upon Pernassus;
Complain not then of Poverty,
You are as rich as Crassus.
H. B.
