Such wits their nuisance manfully expose,

And then pronounce just judges learning's foes;

O frail conclusion; the reverse is true;

If foes to learning, they'd be friends to you:

Treat them, ye judges! with an honest scorn,

And weed the cockle from the generous corn:

There's true good nature in your disrepect;

In justice to the good, the bad neglect:

For immortality, if hardships plead,

It is not theirs who write, but ours who read.
