 | Parnassi Puerperium |  |
32. To the lover of Ingenuity, Tho. Stanly Esq;.
Nature in the unfathom'd Stagyrite,Compos'd a Body, abject to the sight.
Fortune is more Close-fisted; for we finde,
Few Poets Rich; but only in the Minde.
Nature, Fortune, in you Cooperate:
Your Parts are Great; Plentiful, your Estate.
A Poet, Rich, a Mecœnas you be:
Can our Age Parallel in One, these Three?
