Epigram

(On placing the Bankrupt Duke of York’s statue on a high column).

To put the Duke upon so high a column,

Appears to me a mockery rather solemn.

Such lofty place for him cannot be meet;

Surely the project they should straight abandon

Of placing him, who’d scarce a leg to stand on

Upon a thing of near one hundred feet.
