 | The Works of Peter Pindar [i.e. John Wolcot] |  |
Now, gentle sirs, pray ope your eyes,
And learn the art of being wise:
Your schemes are idle wholly, wholly:
Ye show a wondrous want of wit;
Th' immortal statue rais'd to Pitt,
Immortalizeth too—your folly.

Stay but a little month or so,
Your fondness will be much abated;
Ev'n your own hands will overthrow
The idol that ye have created:
No more your pyramid supports its rat—
Your tiger dwindles to a mangy cat.
