Henceforth in arts and knowledge vye no more
But with you sister the dispute give o'er,
Let Clarke to learning all pretensions quit,
And captious Bentley to Delaune submit,
No more let Newton his discoveries boast,
But own himself in greater Shippen lost,
Let Hoadley to Sacheverel yield the prize,
Nor against Potter in contension rise.
