For sterling wit and manly sense combin’d,
Where, Congreve, shall I find thy parallel?
For charming ease, who equals polish’d Vanbrugh?
Where shall we see such graceful pleasantry
As Farquhar’s muse with lavish bounty scatters?
But yet, ye great triumvirate—I fear
To call you back to earth, for ye debas’d
With vile impurities the comic muse,
And made her delicate mouth pronounce such things
