ANOTHER.
By Mr. WILBERFORCE.
On reading Mr. ROSE’s Pamphlet on the IRISH PROPOSITIONS.
Uncramp’d yourself by grammar’s rules,
You hate the jargon of the schools,
And think it most extremely silly;
But reading your unfetter’d prose,
I wish the too-licentious ROSE
Was temper’d by the chaster LILLY[1].
[1] A famous grammarian, well known for his excellent rules, and still more for the happy classical quotations he has furnished to Sir GEORGE HOWARD, and others of the more learned Ministerial speakers.
