. . . [1 column remonstrance against the poem published
earlier entitled: "Buckram the Journeyman Taylor's Love-
letter. . .," with quotations from that poem, ending:]
This opportunity is likewise taken to inform the public
(least the obscure wit couch'd under "Buckram the Journeyman
Taylor, &c." should be lost) that the author of the epilogue
when he was a boy of fifteen years of age, wrote a play
called, The Disappointed Gallant, or Buckram in Armour;
which, tho' full of puerilities, a good natur'd and polite
audience was pleased to applaud, as they knew it to be the
performance of a boy.
