Seriosities and Comicalities By Way of HOTCH-POTCH, BY Peter Henning, a Dutchman,
Who bravely show'd a glorious Dissent To Those who first read Greek by Accent.
Oppositio est Pugna Rerum.
Burgersdicius, Lib. 1. Cap. 22.

This Piece is Genuine, though I must honestly own, it is made publick without the Consent either of Mr. Alexander Pope, or Mr. Dean Swift.
Veritas odium parit.

To the Age.
Hail learned Age! with Pamphlets richly fraught,Some very good, and others good for nought. [OMITTED]
On Scriblers.
IF He's an Author who to PaperSets Pen, and squeezes out some Sense;
Then He who just can cut a Caper,
A Dancing-Master may commence.
But none can by so small a Claim,
B' intitled to so great a Name;
For Men, who can't speak Sense, can Scribble,
As Children, who can't Spit, can Dribble.
