To Mr. Arb---; with the foregoing Tale.
SIR,
Finding your Noddle exhausted and muddy,And but little Humour the Fruit of much Study,
I have sent you, thro' mere Compassion and Pity,
To fill up your Paper, this comical Ditty:
But pray when it falls within your Dominion,
Don't damn it e'er others shall give their Opinion:
Then shall I be satisfied, if they should burn all
My dull Compositions, along with your Journal.
