Quoth Sandys, “To waste paper.”

Alexander Pope.

FROM “THE EPISTLE TO DR. ARBUTHNOT”

“SHUT, shut the door, good John!” fatigued I said;

Tie up the knocker; say I’m sick, I’m dead.

The dog-star rages! nay, ’tis past a doubt,

All Bedlam, or Parnassus, is let out;

Fire in each eye, and papers in each hand,

They rave, recite, and madden round the land.

What walls can guard me, or what shades can hide?
