All human race would fain be wits;
But millions miss for one that hits.
Say, Britain, could you ever boast
Three poets in an age, at most?
Our chilling climate hardly bears
A sprig of bays in fifty years:
While ev'ry fool his claim alledges,
As if it grew on common hedges.
[signed] Dr. Swift's Poetry: A Rhapsody.
