XII. THE RUMP PARLIAMENT: A HISTORICAL QUESTION.
310
John English comes to smooth the Blunder o'er.
He writes about it, and about it writes;
What he has read, and never read, recites;
Much vers'd in History, he ends his Puff:
“I might myself have made it.”—Like enough!
'Tis oft the case of learnèd Heretoforians,
Who read much History,—but no Historians.
