Upon the Knighting Sir R--- B---re, for his incomparable Poem call'd King Arthur.
Be not puff'd up with Knighthood, Friend of mine,A merry Prince once Knighted a Sir-Loin.
And, if to make Comparisons were safe,
An Ox deserves it better than a Calf.
Thy Pride and State I value not a Rush,
Thou that art now Knight Phyz, wast once King Ush.
