To Mr. ROCHE,

Upon his Translating the foregoing Piece.

To Praise unknown, unknowing to commend,
Distinguishes the Critick from the Friend:
Such was my just Applause when publick Fame
Proclaim'd your Merit, but conceal'd your Name.
Like Ægypt we Ador'd the teeming Flood,
And bless'd the latent Author of our Good.

No more shall silly Tales the World deceive,
No more the sillier World those Tales believe;
Each wither'd Crone shall live, and die unblam'd,
And be no more a Witch, or Wizard nam'd:
No publick Grievances infest her Ease,
But innocently she may stink in Peace.
The only Prodigy which now appears,
Is such a Genius so beyond its Years.
