An inscription to be placed under Mr. Hogarth's etching of
John Wilkes, Esq;
  Satan, in glee, thus grin'd a ghastly smile,
  For deep-laid projects of successful guile!
  He hop'd, th' angelick choir, (but hop'd in vain)
  Would tune their harps to some triumphant strain;
  And wish'd in other accents to be sung,
  Than those which issued from an adder's tongue.
  Our miscreant chief alike his aim may miss,
  And courting vain applause shall hear the hiss.
