NIL ADMIRARI, &c.
Horace and Creech! — Sages require
Thus do ye teach? — Much to admire,
What idle speech! — Nought to desire.
Pope! and could you — God! grant thou me
Sanction it too? — Nature to see
‘Twill never do. — Admiringly.
One idle pen — Lo! how the wise
Writes it, and ten — Read in her eyes
Write it again. — Thy mysteries!
