. . . [3 column response to Coeleb, including]
   With crutch and staff two hop along together,
   One hi-shop line come limping after t'other.
   One says, do stop, I see no sense in running;
   Push on, says Phil', I'll warrant you 'tis cunning
   . . . [6 more lines]
I will say by this remarkable poet, who has entered the list
of opponents, as a well known writer did on a similar
occasion:
   Philo-Hymenzeus made great blunders,
   In imitating Shakespear's wonders,
   To make the heart full glad:
   But had it been poor Shakespear's fate
   . . . [2 more lines]
