The Answer. [by Sir Carr Scroope]
Raile on poor feeble Scribbler, speake of me,In as bad Terms as the World speakes of thee;
Sit swelling in thy hole, like a vext Toad,
And full of Pox, and Mallice spit abroad.
Thou canst blast noe Mans Fame with thy ill word,
Thy Pen, is full as harmlesse as thy Sword.
