To Mr. Edward Ward,

on his Translation of Don Quixote into Hudibrastick Verse.

Knight-Errantry the Spanish Genius rais'd,
And, tho' fantastick, was with Prudence prais'd.
Thus with the Fire of Glory carried on,
They mighty Empires o'er the Indies won,
And pass'd from rising to the setting Sun.
Cervantes brought true Wisdom to the height,
And taught the distance betwixt Vain and Great.
Then Anna, Europe's just Protector, came,
And show'd their Monarchy true Paths to Fame.
You to Cervantes equal Spirit give,
And in the British Language bid him live.
W. King, L. L. D.
