Now mix these ingredients, which warm’d in the baking,

Turn’d to learning and gaminq, religion and raking.

With the love of a wench, let his writings be chaste;

Tip his tongue with strange matter, his pen with fine taste;

That the rake and the poet o’er all may prevail,

Set fire to the head, and set fire to the tail;

For the joy of each sex, on the world I’ll bestow it,

This Scholar, Rake, Christian, Dupe, Gamester, and Poet;

Though a mixture so odd, he shall merit great fame,

And among brother mortals—be Goldsmith his name;
