That antient Poet, whose Iambic Name
Is borne by rapid Fame
Ev'n from the rising to the setting Day!
And sure, the inspiring Muses lov'd their Child;
And Delian Phœbus on his keener Verse
Which flow'd, exact and terse,
To his according Lyre, in Fondness smil'd!

To his according Lyre, in Fondness smil'd!
