. . . the following verses were published both in Dublin and
London, being written (as 'twas said) by the ingenous and
witty Dean Swift.
PROMETHEUS.
When first the squire, and Tinker Wood,
Gravely consulting Ireland's good,
Together mingled in a mass,
Smith's dust with copper lead and brass:
. . . [22 lines]
So by the brazen trumpets bluster,
Troops of all tongues and nations muster;
And so the harp of Ireland brings
Whole crowds about its brazen strings.
. . . [40 more lines]
