Himself should publish that (the world agree)

Before his works, or in the pillory.

Let him be black, fair, tall, short, thin, or fat,

Dirty or clean, I find no theme in that.

Is that call'd humour? It has this pretence,

'Tis neither virtue, breeding, wit, or sense.

Unless you boast the genius of a Swift,

Beware of humour, the dull rogue's last shift.

Can others write like you? Your task give o'er,

'Tis printing what was publish'd long before.
