And none uncensured could be fool or mad:

Unhappy was that wretch, whose name might be

Squared to the rules of their sharp poetry.

Persius obscure, but full of sense and wit,

Affected brevity in all he writ;

And Juvenal, learned as those times could be,

Too far did stretch his sharp hyperbole;

Though horrid truths through all his labours shine,

In what he writes there's something of divine,

Whether he blames the Caprean debauch,
