He overpowers you with his mighty praise.

Truth never moves in those impetuous ways;

A faithful friend is careful of your fame,

And freely will your heedless errors blame;

He cannot pardon a neglected line,

But verse to rule and order will confine;

Reprove of words the too-affected sound;—

Here the sense flags, and your expression's round,

Your fancy tires, and your discourse grows vain,

Your terms improper; make it just and plain.—
