Ye paultry scriblers of a foggy clime,
How dare ye write in either prose or rhyme,
How dare ye write in either rhyme or prose,
'Gainst common sense, in spite of nature's nose;
. . . [22 lines]
Tho' plac'd beneath the dignity of rhyme,
Yet mount the stage thou monster of the time;
. . . [14 lines]
To caping fools that round the monster throng,
The nurses menace, and the children's song,
Whose heart and tongue is always in the wrong.
. . . [9 more lines]
