| Citation | VGW(HU.755.021 6 Jun 1755:12 (230) By birth the name alone descends; Your honor on yourself depends. Learning by study must be won, 'Twas ne'er entail'd from son to son. Superior worth your rank requires, For that mankind rever'd your sires; If you degen'rate from your race, Their merits heighten your disgrace. [signed] Gay |
