Now if I’m wrong, sirs, set me right,

Banks, Herschell, Loft, and Walkers,

All you who of cropt Comets are,

The astronomic talkers;

Go tell the town I’m nebulous,

Wordcaviare to the million,”

Swear radiant Phœbus Cromwell cropt,

The Comet’s perehelion.

Enquirers into nature say,

That bucks, when rutting’s over,
