XVI. HOW DIFFERS HISTORY, PRITHEE, FROM HISTORIANS?
Why, thus, dear Miso, deep in Hist'ry read:You contradicted what Historians said;
By Proof, then, plain as one can well desire,
Your Hist'ry differs from Historians, Squire.
When your great Hist'ry-Reader makes a Blunder.
Another time be wiser, and knock under!
