Though he, perhaps, has failed in every one:

But, after all, a poet must confess,

His art's like physic, but a happy guess.

Your pleasure on your fancy must depend:

The lady's pleased, just as she likes her friend.

No song! no dance! no show! he fears you'll say:

You love all naked beauties, but a play.

He much mistakes your methods to delight;

And, like the French, abhors our target-fight:

But those damned dogs can ne'er be in the right.
