Referring to a design of putting the learned Selden into the pillory for his History of Tithes, he says smartly:—
"Even the learned Selden saw
A prospect of thee thro' the law;
He had thy lofty pinnacles in view,

Had the great Selden triumph'd on thy stage,
Selden, the honour of his age,
No man would ever shun thee more,
Or grudge to stand where Selden stood before."
