Blest Coupleteer! by blooming Critics read,
At Toilets ogled, and with Sweetmeats fed:
See, lisping Toilers grace thy Dunciad’s Cause,
And scream their witty Scavenger’s Applause,
While powder’d Wits, and lac’d Cabals rehearse
Thy bawdy Cento, and thy Bead-roll Verse;
Gay, bugled Statesmen on thy Side debate,
And libel’d Blockheads court thee, tho’ they hate.
