POSTSCRIPT.
Sire! if your majesty so please,
And, sire, it may be done with ease,
I'll make a bargain.—Keep out Pitt for ever,
My song shall be the song of praise;
To kings an altar will I raise,
And never tear it down—no, never, never.
And, should it please th' Almighty to take Pye,
Sire, I'm your bard—your laureat—I—yes, I!

Sire, I'm your bard—your laureat—I—yes, I!
I think this must be some temptation,
Considering my vast reputation.
