Such he, whose wit made wond’ring senates roar,

And those to blush that never blush’d before.

Anticipation gave him sterling fame,

The Wreath of Fashion a poetic name.

And Nature gave, and at the gift repines,

At pension’d wit and prostituted lines.

Be your’s, O Tickell, to correct this vice,

That deals out praise or censure at a price,

And in one grand example prove to men,

How weak is Wit, when Party holds the pen;
