The following copy of verses was address'd to his excellency
Philip Earl of Chesterfield, on his extraordinary embassy to
Holland.
O Chesterfield with early Laurels crown'd,
For poignant wit and nervous sense renown'd;
Whom all the powers of elegance adorn,
For publick scenes, and great employments born;
A while indulgent to my verse attend,
Of every art the judge, to every muse a friend.
. . . [8 more verses]
[Verse 6 contains line:] Scorns the low cunning of a
jugler's art.
