Huge commentators grace my learned shelves,

Notes upon books out-do the books themselves.

Criticks indeed are valuable men,

But hyper-criticks are as good agen.

Tho' Blackmore's works my soul with raptures fill,

With notes by Bently they'd be better still.

The Boghouse-Miscellany's well design'd,

To ease the body, and improve the mind.

Swift's whims and jokes for my resentment call,

For he displeases me, that pleases all.
