There are, of happier Mold than these,
Pens that instruct us, while they please—
Such are to Colman's Hand assign'd,
To paint the Manners of Mankind,
To mend the Vices of the Age,
Sham'd by its Image on the Stage.
Pens that instruct us, while they please—
Such are to Colman's Hand assign'd,
To paint the Manners of Mankind,
To mend the Vices of the Age,
Sham'd by its Image on the Stage.
