To the Author.
Now for a Complement was never knownThat who so hears't, shall swear it is my own
Your Book is excellent-Pox! that won't do
That's usurp'd often, though deserv'd by few,
Faith you did very ill to send to me,
To have my judgement on your Travesty
But stay-I have one now, I say it is,
A very silly and ridiculus piece,
You'l think 'tis strangely spoken of a friend
And were I so I could not but commend,
Like zealous mad men you mistake the Letter,
For in this case the worse it is the better
Coll. Blunt.
