First, the King's Fisher (now no halcyon nigh)
Commenc'd his peerless ditty, with a sigh!
Th'egregious Dabbler, in the parts of speech,
Alternately would threaten and beseech:
In Essays (innocent of thought) complain,
Led by the Ignis fatuus of his brain!
Oh, for the loyal days of Gen'ral Gage;
When Yankees sung, their sorrows, in—a cage!
Express'd a reverence in the tone of fear,
And paid their tribute with a decent tear:
How Lewis proves the bliss to be unwise!
With perfect modesty, how Coleman—lies:
The bronze of Carpenter proclaims his sect;
And Park gives nonsense aspect and effect;
How Imposition doats upon their clack!
What charming chesnuts, for the De'el to crack!
I'll write no more for Printers stern and dull:
The R---lls drink their claret from—my scull:
Ligneous lump, the seat of mental pains,
Cumbrous as woe, yet unoppress'd with—brains!
Commenc'd his peerless ditty, with a sigh!
