Spoken by a Shabby Poet.
Ye Gods! what crime had my poor father done, That you should make a poet of his son? Or is't for some great services of his, Y'are pleas'd to compliment his boy——with this?
The honour, I must needs confess is great, If, with his crown, you'd tell him where to eat: Tis well——But I have more complaints—look here!
