K——- What if, our sinking cause to save,
We both our jealous strife should wave,
And act our former farce on:
If I to JENKY were more stern,
Would you, then, generously turn
Your back upon the Parson?
P—TT. Tho’ to support his patriot plan
I’m pledg’d as Minister and Man,
This storm I hope to weather;
And since your Royal will is so,
Reforms and the Reformers too,
May all be damn’d together!
Prettymaniana.
EPIGRAMS ON THE REV. DR. PR—TT—MAN’S DUPLICITY.
I.
That PRETTYMAN’s so pale, so spare,
No cause for wonder now affords;
He lives, alas! on empty fare,
Who lives by eating his own ’words!
II.
In BAYES’s burlesque, though so strange it appear’d,
That PRINCE PRETTYMAN’s self should PRINCE PRETTYMAN kill;
Our Prettyman FURTHER to go has not fear’d,
But in DAMNING himself, he extended his skill!
III.
Undaunted PITT, against the State to plot,
Should int’rest spur, or passion urge ye;
Dread not the hapless exit of LA MOTTE,
Secure in Benefit of Clergy!
