There was Priestley, they told me, had wrote in my Cause,

And publish’d good Things with a deal of Applause;

But ’tis mere Imposition—he scribble for me!

He scrawl in my Favour! No, damn him, not he!

Yet ’tis some Consolation that Blunderers make 200

His meanings so strange, that they’re ours by Mistake.

And now, having settled the principal Points,

Your Master the Head of his Prophet anoints,

And, judging all Conscience no more in the Way,

Thus bids you to sing, or thus bids you to say.
