So we, with justice on our side,
May hang these rogues before they’re try’d.
Then draw a just, but black comparison,
Which, if they’ve feelings left, will harass ’em,
’Twixt tractoring Perkinites, so smart,
And other dealers in the black art;
That is, the chimney-sweepers sooty,
Whose deeds, like Perkinites, are smutty;
But as they are aspiring geniuses,
Like Perkinites, they find Mecenases.[82]
