TO THE READER.
After
that of the Iliads read this of the Odysses,
And see, whether more grateful, or whether more Modish is;
But if neither do please you, as I'll hardly swear it,
When you've read it quite o're and dislike it, forbear it.
For he that rejects any Book without reading,
Shews more Malice than Prudence, more Humour than Breeding.
And see, whether more grateful, or whether more Modish is;
But if neither do please you, as I'll hardly swear it,
When you've read it quite o're and dislike it, forbear it.
Shews more Malice than Prudence, more Humour than Breeding.
