THE RAKE. A Poem.
[1 line in Latin, from Horace]
How wild is youth?  How wicked and prophane,
When savage nature only governs man?
And unreform'd by education steers
The two legg'd monster in his greener years!
. . . [12 lines]
Esteems no marit, but the worth that dwells
Within some fencer's hands, or dancer's heels:
. . . [6 more lines, signed] Amicus.
