Is needful to transcribe it fair:
In modern wit all printed trash is
Set off with num’rous breaks—and dashes—
To statesmen would you give a wipe
You print it in Italic type:
When letters are in vulgar shapes,
’Tis ten to one the wit escapes;
But when in Capitals exprest,
The dullest reader smokes the jest;
Or else perhaps he may invent
