On the setting up Mr. Butler's Monument Westminster Abbey.
While Butler, needy Wretch! was yet aliveNo gen'rous Patron would a Dinner give:
See him, when starv'd to Death and turn'd to Dust,
Presented with a Monumental Bust!
The Poet's Fate is here in Emblem shown,
He ask'd for Bread, and he receiv'd a Stone.
