 | The works of Mr. Thomas Brown |  |
To the Author of the Satire against Wit, upon concealing his Name.
He that in Arthur's Trash has Penance done,Need not be told who writ this vile Lampoon;
In both the same eternal Dulness shines,
Inspires the Thoughts, and animates the Lines;
In both the same lewd Flattery we find,
The Praise defaming, and the Satire kind.
Alike the Numbers, Fashion, and Design,
No Chequer-Tallies could more nicely join.
Thy foolish Muse puts on her Mask too late,
We know the Strumpet by her Voice and Gate.
