But the passage of all others which gives us the most delight is that in which his Lordship attacks his critics, and declares that
"Our men in buckram shall have blows enough,
And feel they too are penetrable stuff."

Learn'd to deride the Critic's stern decree,
And break him on the wheel he meant for me."
We should now, with all humility, ask his Lordship whether

yet feels that "he
too
is penetrable stuff;" and we should further wish to know how he likes being "
broken on the wheel he meant for others?
